Bentonite Fermobent Poretec 20

FERMOBENT� PORE-TEC is used during fermentation to remove heat unstable proteins as they are formed.

� May eliminate the need for post-fermentation protein stabilization
� Preferred addition timing is mid-fermentation
� Improves the release of CO2 during fermentation
� Highly purified and has extremely low heavy metal content (iron)
� Varietal aromas are preserved compared with traditional post-fermentation bentonite additions
� Helps compact fermentation lees
� Produced using PORE-TECnology resulting in an almost dust-free bentonite
� Can be prepared in room temperature water
� Highly purified sodium-calcium based bentonite

Dosage
Bench trials recommended
Fermenting Juice 50�300 g/hL

Usage
Add FERMOBENT� PORE-TEC slowly to approximately 5 times its weight of room temperature water and allow to swell. Allow a rest period of 4�6 hours. Dispose of supernatant and add remaining bentonite slurry to the must while thoroughly mixing. After fermentation, rack off bentonite and gross lees.
