    • Prevents Boil-Overs: One drop per gallon eliminates messy boil-overs, making your brewing process cleaner and safer, saving time on cleanup.
    • Increases Fermenter Capacity: Reduces Krausen foam during fermentation, allowing more beer volume and minimizing the risk of messy blowouts.
    • Improves Head Retention: Enhances head formation in finished beer by preserving foam-forming proteins that would otherwise be lost during fermentation.
    • Food-Grade and Easy to Use: Made from food-grade silicone, Foam Axe safely breaks up foam with just a few drops, settling out before bottling or kegging.

    Stop boil overs in the kettle and limit foaming in your fermenter with CellarScience Foam Axe. This uniquely formulated anti-foaming agent reduces surface tension so bubbles are Axed before they can form. Foam Axe actually increases head formation in the finished beer by retaining foam forming proteins that would have normally blown off during fermentation. Use it in your boil kettle to prevent boil-overs for a cleaner, safer process. Then add Foam Axe to your fermenter to reduce Krausen, save beer, and increase the volume capacity of your fermenter.

    In the Kettle:
    Nobody likes a boil over as they are messy and take considerable time to clean up. Save time, beer, your burner or stove, (and possibly your relationship) by adding 1 drop per gallon of Foam Axe into your kettle and eliminate boil overs from your brew day!    

    In the Fermenter:
    Foam Axe works like magic in the fermenter. Just 2 drops per gallon at the start of fermentation will keep your airlock and blowoff clean. We recommend adding before pitching yeast and rousing well while you aerate your wort. Many commercial breweries use Foam Axe to increase fermenter capacity and homebrewers can do the same.

    Additional Notes:
    Foam Axe is made from food-grade silicone and works by breaking up foam particles and dispersing surface tension. Foam Axe settles out of beer prior to bottling or kegging. Store cool and in an environment below 90°F. Do not freeze.

    The recommended shelf life is 6 months from the date the package is opened.

        Worked as advertised to significantly reduce foam

        I recently used Foam Axe in both the boil and fermenter. It really worked as described. During boiling I didn't experience the "hot break" moment that I typically did, where the wort is apt to boil over quickly if your not careful. I then used it during fermentation. It completely eliminated the typical "blow-off" I almost always experience high volumes of foam generated from very vigorous fermentation. I am extremely pleased with the results and would highly recommend this product.

        No bubbles, no troubles

        I like this product because it doesn't require refrigeration and it works as expected.

        the stuff seems to work good, I don't like the dropper

        I like this product as a defoamer, the dropper seems hard to unscrew, though, so i gave it a 4

        No boil overs!

        I use this when making 2-liter yeast starters. Stove top boil overs are messy and annoying. With this, no more boil overs.

        Big beers or small kettles

        Even though I have a 22 gallon kettle, my big beers for even 10 gallon batches would want to go right over without intermittent flame and spray down intervention throughout the whole boil. This stuff makes my brew day less stressful.

        Amazing

        Stop fighting the foam and get this already. A few drops and the angry boil over gods are at bay. I finally got a hold of some of this and my last brew day was such a pleasure when it came to the boil stage. At the first sign of the brew gods demanding to give me more clean up work I plopped in a few drops and the eruption subsided with the quickness, I was in awe at how fast it knocked it down. I will make sure to always have this in my arsenal from now on for not only the piece of mind but the safety of my floor and time from the clean up it prevents.

        Perfect for single vessel all grain systems

        Excellent boil over control in my Anvil Foundry which with a heavy grain bill often threatens boil over without constant stirring. A few drops of this and the entire boil was set it and forget it.
