The suspension is suitable for use in top or bottom-fermented beers in all types of fermentation tanks. HopAid® Antifoam is proven to help reduce headspace requirements, increasing your fermentation capacity. It has no impact on the final beer’s foam retention properties.

HopAid® Antifoam should be dosed into cold wort. Either inline or, alternatively, dosed into the fermenter before the cold wort is transferred. This will ensure good mixing with the wort which is essential for optimum performance. Dosing into hot wort will lead to unpredictable losses in the hot trub. Depending on the brewing recipe and fermentation regime the dose rate for most applications will lie between 5 and 50 g/hL. For a normal strength lager type a starting dose rate of 20 g/hL is recommended.
