FERMCAPPROBLEM: Excess "fobbing" or foam formation in fermentation SYMPTOM: Reduced overall fermentation capacity, increased fouling of vessels and possible presence of hazes due to collapsed foam. Poor hop bitter acid utilisation SOLUTION: Addition of FermCap Key benefits ► Improves Alpha - acid utilisation ► Improved beer foam stability ► Maximizes tank capacity/usage ► Reduces expensive wort losses ► Maximizes CO2 recovery FermCap is a unique emulsion of an extremely effective surface-active agent, which prevents foam formation by reducing surface tension. It is classified as a "process aid" because of its novel feature of being completely removed from the beer under normal processing conditions. antifoamrgwithtransitions_co2fouling.avi antifoamrgwithtransitions_fermcap_to_eof.avi Control -no FermCap S.avi
