Foam Doctor

FoamDoctor® F3011 is a food-grade, silicone-based antifoam specifically suited to brewing operations, where foam control is critical to process efficiency. In the brewhouse, it is applied during wort boiling to suppress excessive foam formation, reducing boil-over risk and allowing higher kettle utilisation. During fermentation, it helps manage krausen development, preventing vessel overflow and maintaining stable fermentation conditions.

Used at low dosage rates (typically 10-100 ppm), FoamDoctor F3011 provides effective foam suppression without interfering with yeast activity, attenuation, or flavour profile when properly optimised. Its use supports more consistent production, improved tank turnover, and reduced product loss, making it a practical processing aid for modern breweries operating high-gravity or high-throughput systems.

FoamDoctor® F3011 is designed for foam control in brewing and fermentation processes, and is recommended for:

• Wort boiling (kettle foam suppression)
• Fermentation vessels (krausen control)
• Yeast propagation systems
• High-gravity brewing operations
• CIP return lines and recovery systems where foam forms
• Food and beverage fermentation processes

FoamDoctor® F3011 is not classified as hazardous under current EU regulations and is considered safe to handle under normal industrial conditions.
