SPINDASOL SB3
Silica sol for beer clarification
Silica sol for beer clarification. It improves the sedimentation of yeast in maturation. The technical properties of Spindasol SB3 lead to a difference in performance compared to the ordinary silica sols that have been used up to now. In practice, this leads to a more efficient and quicker sedimentation and thereby limits the amount of yeast in filtration which can reduce the filtration run.
Short storage time often leads to that the amount of suspended yeast can negatively effect qualitative and quantitative results in kieselguhr filtration. This often leads to large consumption of different kinds of filter aids.
Spindasol SB3 may also be used periodically when the storage time is shorter due to increased production or it may be limited to beer types with lower filtrability.
When Spindasol SB3 is used in environments with less concentration of yeast, it will also absorb a certain amount of protein substances and the fractions of combined polyphenols and protein and thereby improve the colloidal stability.
The charge of Spindasol SB3 and its absorption effect do not affect the taste and head stability negatively.
The result of Spindasol SB3 is measured by:
* Reduction of the amount of yeast cells in the beer after maturation;
* Clearer beer;
* Improved filtrability;
* Reduction of the consumption g/hL of filter aids
* Improved stability in some cases.
