Cellabrite (25 kg)

Description
CELLABRITE is a ready for use product that is used to break protein and some yeast out of freshly fermented beer. CELLABRITE is a mixed polysaccharide / silicate based auxiliary fining for use in conjunction with isinglass finings to fine cask conditioned beers which are more difficult to clarify.

Benefits

• Removes the protein that causes haze in beer
• Improves filterability for bright beers
• Reduces conditioning time
• Leads to polished beers
• Speeds up beer processing
• Easily mixed into beer in fermentation vessel or cask
• Can be suitable for vegan-only beers

Principle
CELLABRITE work with isinglass in cask conditioned beers. With many beers, the best clarity is achieved by using an isinglass finings product in combination with an auxiliary. Auxiliary finings can be added at one of several points: Into the fermentation vessel; into the beer main feeding the rack-ing heads or into the cask before filled.

Using the product
How much of the product to add
Most beers will require an addition of auxiliary finings at a rate between 100ml per hl to 500ml per hl. It is important to note that if auxiliary finings are being used with isinglass, it should be added first before the isinglass.

Where to add auxiliary finings
Auxiliary finings can be added at one of several points:

• Into the fermentation vessel

The auxiliary can be added to the fermentation vessel either through the CIP sprayball at the top of the tank or pumped through the outlet valve of the bottom of the tank. The addition should be made at the end of fermentation, just as the vessel goes onto chill. The residue fermentation and convec-tion currents on cooling are sufficient to mix the product.

• Into the beer main feeding the racking heads

This method can be combined with proportional metering to ensure the correct rate of addition. The auxiliary is added first followed by the isinglass finings if required.

• Into the cask before it is filled

The appropriate quantity of auxiliary is put into the cask before filling. If the filling rate is fast and turbulent, isinglass can then be added towards the end of the fill or after.

• Into cask when in pub cellar

Auxiliary finings can also be added to cask beer in the pub cellar of a beer haze persist, although our cellabrite product is better formulated for this work.

Using auxiliary finings with isinglass
When using auxiliary finings with isinglass, it is important to add it before the isinglass . Otherwise they will not clarify the beer properly. This is be-cause the two products carry opposite charge and will react with each other rather than the hazes on the beer that they are designed to clear.
