Britesorb Beer Clarifier

Overview

Britesorb BK 75 is chemically inert, dust-free and is not attacked by either water or beer or silicic acid. Its use therefore does not breach German beer purity regulations and is permitted according to the provisional Beer Tax Law §9, section.

Britesorb BK 75 has a very short reaction time: protein adsorption is completed within a few minutes. Britesorb BK 75 can be used both for flow contact stabilization and for tank stabilization. Longer contact times have no disadvantageous effect.

Britesorb BK 75 facilitates long filter life.

Principle

Britesorb BK 75 acts physically and chemically and is specially tailored to the complicated colloid-chemical relationships in beer. It removes irreversibly only the protein groups which may cause low-temperature clouding. The protein groups responsible for head formation and head retention are not removed.

Britesorb BK 75 has no effect on the character of the beer. Taste and color of matured beers, extract content, alcohol content, degree of fermentation, pH value and bitterns are not modified by Britesorb BK 75.

Can be used for stabilization in the tank or in beer flow pre-filter

Treatment Rates

70-100 g/hl

Application

Made up to form suspension no greater than 18%. Added in tank or dosed in-line pre-filter.

Protofine Beer Clarification

Protofine is a food grade product designed to promote the flocculation and precipitation of yeast and protein complexes during
cold storage of beer.

Vegan friendly

Natural-plant derived product

Improved filtration performance

Reduced cold storage time

Improves beer haze and stability

Cryofine

Cryofine contains purified isinglass in convenient powder form. It is added to beer at the end of fermentation to speed maturation and improve filtration by removing yeasts and protein particles. For the purposes of rapid dissolving, enhanced performance and long shelflife, the production of Cryofine involves improved disruption technology to enhance dissolving.

Reduced cold storage time.

Improved beer haze and stability.

Less re-work.

Alphafloc Paste

Alphafloc isinglass paste is produced from the clean maws of certain types of fish. These fish maws contain about 98% collagen on a dry ash-free basis. The paste form of isinglass comprises finely divided isinglass in an aqueous base with sodium metabisulphite as preservative. The fish maws are subjected to vigorous cleaning followed by wet size reduction via processing which avoids heat generation (thereby avoiding thermal degradation of the collagen).
