Description
Refoam (Antifoam FD20PK) 5 kg – foam control for boiling and fermentation
Refoam is a silicone-based emulsion from Murphy & Son, developed for brewing and distilling where a quick knockdown of foam is needed. It can be added to the kettle or the fermentation vessel and is classed as a processing aid, because it is not carried over into the final product at normal dosage rates. It is absorbed onto the yeast and filter media and removed by normal processing.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
The product has changed its name from Antifoam to Refoam.
