I thought I would add to the calm that has come over us about the use of Fermcap S.
So, looking at the MSDS someone posted of a similar product it seems that it is only 10% DMPS. Weighing out Fermcap I got about 20 drops in 1 gram. So if we use 2 drops per gallon in 7 gallons of wort to prevent boilover, we are looking at about 15 drops or 0.75g of Fermcap. If it is about 10% DMPS then that is .075g going eventually into 5 gallons, or 19 liters of beer. This is ~4mg per liter or ~4 parts per million. This is lower than the 10-16 ppm the FDA allows.
Regarding the LD50 of DMPS on the MSDS it is greater than 5g per kg, which likely means that was the highest dose they gave to the rats and even that didn't kill half of them. So for an "average" person of 70kg (although the 100kg assumption for average homebrewer is probably more accurate), and if we assume rats are equivalent to humans, we could probably take in at least 350g of it and survive, which would be over 4000 times what is probably in your 5 gallons of beer total. If you did that though, you'd probably be taking the Jets to the Superbowl, if you know what I mean...
And yeah the high excretion unchanged, meaning no apparent metabolism in the cell, which also means very poor absorption certainly will help with increasing the concentration required to get lethal. And of course this is also assuming that what you put in is what is present in the final beer, which looks like it is probably not the case either.
So, I for one, will continue to use Fermcap with reckless abandon... in starters, to prevent boilover, to prevent blowoff, when boiling milk and water for instant pasta, just for fun cause I like the taste.... ok maybe not the last one....
