Clarification/Fining Agents

Whirlfloc T

Whirlfloc tablets are a blend of Irish Moss and purified Kappa carrageenan (from red seaweed) that encourages haze causing materials such as proteins to drop out of wort.

Prepared in a quick dissolving, highly soluble tablet form. Almost everyone who tries Whirlfloc tablets prefer them to regular Irish Moss.
 Add for the final 5 minutes of the boil.

Note: One Whirlfloc tablet is good for 10-15 gallons of wort. We suggest using half a tablet for 5 gallon batches for most beers.

Super-Kleer - Fining Agent

Super-Kleer K.C. is a  two stage wine, beer and spirit wash clarifying kit. 

Contains two pre-mixed pouches of kieselsol and chitosan. The fining porocess works by creating both strong negative and strong positive charges in the wine, which allow for larger yeast clumping and faster clearing. 

1 pack of Super-Kleer will clear up to 23L

Fining agent for white wine clarification.  It also reduces bitterness.  

Can also be used in Beer.

Extremely gentle and not always effective.

Irish moss clears proteins in beer wort. 

Use 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. per 5 gal. of beer. Add at the beginning of boil.

Gelatin is a fining agent for beer or wine.

*SPECIAL ORDER ONLY*

Biofine P019 is a refined isinglass collagen which has superior dissolution properties. 

The active ingredient in isinglass is a protein called collagen, a triple helical coil with many sites of positive charge. It is a large molecule which will attract the much smaller negatively charged yeast, etc., and they will precipitate out.

- Store in cool, dry conditions

Isinglass, powder, 'Drifine'.

A traditional proteinaceous fining agent derived from fish swim bladders and used mostly with whites and sparkling wines, but will also remove harsh tannins in reds.

Unlike gelatin it needs no counterfining with tannin or keiselsol. Drifine is a pre-hydrolyzed form of isinglass which requires only 30 minutes hydration, at or near 60°F (16°C), instead of the typical 2 to 6 days for standard isinglass; nor does it need pH adjustment.

Normal usage is 0.01 to 0.1 gram per gallon.
