Drifoam

Overview

Many years of development have been undertaken to identify both the ideal blend of seaweed species required to yield alginic acid of the necessary quality, and to optimize the critical esterification stage.

The resulting Drifoam is free from the technical problems associated with the less technically refined products on the market.

Principle

Drifoam stabilizes beer foam in two ways. Firstly by actively interacting with foam positive, hydrophobic beer polypeptides, and secondly by reducing the impact of foam negative factors.

This latter effect explains the positive role Drifoam also plays in protecting beer foam from external contamination, particularly from grease and detergents.

Protosol Beer Clarification

Protosol is a specifically selected colloidal silica sol, which promotes sedimentation of proteins and other solids from beer and wort. Protosol effectively clarifies wort and beer at very low addition rates, enabling increased throughput of your brewery without the need for investment in tank or filtration capacity.

Is not required to be listed on labels.

Does not contain animal derivatives.

Beer filterability is enhanced due to removal of solids.

ISY Enhance

AB Vickers ISY Enhance™ is an inactivated specific yeast autolysate designed to increase body, mouthfeel, and drinkability in beer. The resulting product is smooth and clean with enhanced flavor perception.

Improved mouthfeel and drinkability in any beer style

Reduced harsh flavors and astringency

Increased body and complexity in lighter beer styles, including low alcohol and non-alcoholic beer

Greater balance and improved flavor perception
