Finings and Clarifiers (for beer and wine)

HOME   VIEW SHOPPING CART   CHECK OUT   SEARCH

No single product will completely clarify beer.

For CLEAR BEER you must deal with all three sources of cloudiness:
1. Yeast
2. Protein
3. Chill Haze

Step 1: Before Fermentation:  Add Irish Moss or Whirlfloc to your kettle during the last 15 minutes of the boil.  This will cause more protein to settle after the boil, before it becomes a problem later on.

Step 2: After Fermentation:  At least 2-3 days before bottling or kegging, open the fermentor and stir in a Fining Agent (like SuperKleer, Isinglass, or Gelatin) PLUS a dose of Polyclar.  Finings precipitate yeast cells and fine suspended particles.  Polyclar absorbs tannins & proteins which cause chill haze.  It seems odd to stir your beer at this point, because stirring will raise up the sediment.  But it is necessary for the finings & Polyclar to do their jobs!  Don't worry... the beer will settle again and be much clearer!
