Kieselsol 30%
Kieselsol is an aqueous solution of food grade colloidal silicic acid for use as a high performance fining aid in the clarification of fermented alcoholic beverages. Suitable for use with a wide range of fermented alcoholic beverages as it can be used across a wide range of acid content and pH, has been specially developed with optimum charging and alkalinity ensuring rapid interaction with yeast cells and other debris. Kieselsol must always be used in conjunction with Gelatine or Chitosan for effective clarification. Kieselsol can be applied directly to the beverage once fermentation is complete and the beverage has been stabilised. Before addition of Kieselsol and other fining agents it is important to thoroughly degas the beverage as excess dissolved CO2 will increase the clarification time. Kieselsol can be introduced directly into the fermentation or clarification vessel.
Kieselsol must always be used in conjunction with Gelatine or Chitosan. Once added, the beverage should be agitated to ensure thorough distribution and left to stand for 1hr before addition of Chitosan or Gelatine.
