HARD SELTZER: A RISING TREND IN THE CRAFT BEER SCENE

Hard Seltzer is a world-wide phenomenon and craft brewers have been quick at lending their art to its production.

HARD SELTZER AND ITS CLOSE CONNECTION TO CRAFT BEER

Hard seltzer is a fizzy, slightly alcoholic, fruit-flavoured drink with low alcohol content. It is extremely easy to drink and offers an intriguing bouquet of aromas and flavours.

Although it is possible to produce simply by blending water and alcohol, blending water and alcohol, production through fermentation allows breweries to offer a premium, unique product, with an ABV value similar to beer but with a lower amount of calories and carbohydrates.

Starting with a simple sugar such as sucrose (cane sugar) or dextrose, nutrients and yeasts are added to obtain a simple hydroalcoholic base, which is then promptly clarified, added with aromas and extracts and subsequently carbonated.

OUR BEST BIOTECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS FOR A FIRST-CLASS HARD SELTZER

After years of industry experience and extensive experimentations and field trials, we offer the best biotechnology to allow you to create a beverage with a clean seltzer base, clarified and neutral in flavour.

Premium yeasts and nutrients biotechnology tailored for seltzer fermentation

Fermoplus Integrateur 20 KD provides your seltzer wort with the correct amount of assimilable nitrogen, aminoacids and vitamins, thus allowing a rapid fermentation process.

Fermol Charmat, widely used in the production of sparkling wines in the winemaking industry, allows rapid and reliable fermentations of both low- and high-gravity seltzers at temperatures of 18-26°C, still maintaining an overall neutral sensory profile.

Boosts the smoothness and stability of your seltzer

Arabinol Arôme is a blend of selected arabic gums that can enhance the sensory profile of seltzers, increasing perceived mouthfeel and sweetness without adding calories and improving bubble stability.

An ideal aid for a clean base seltzer

Danmil Carbon filtration pads can easily be applied to have clear, odourless Seltzer bases. Filtration through Danmil Carbon not only removes fermentation-related hazes, but also the yellow tones and any yeast-derived aromas in the fermented beverage. The higher efficiency compared to regular activated carbon is explained by a more efficient liquid-carbon contact.

Danmil range for Hard Seltzer filtration

Brew Free PES and Brew Free PP are the essential cartridges to achieve the microbial purity for your seltzer base, so that it can afterwards be added with aromas, carbonated, and bottled.

Deacid

Deacid keeps the pH in the correct range, preventing the pH from dramatically decrease during fermentation in a non-buffered solution as water and sugar is.

Fermol Charmat

Fermol Charmat, widely applied for the production of sparkling wines in the winemaking industry, allows rapid and reliable fermentations of both low- and high-gravity seltzers at temperatures of 18-26°C, still maintaining an overall neutral sensory profile.

Fermoplus Integrateur 20KD

Fermoplus Integrateur 20 KD provides your seltzer wort with the correct amount of assimilable nitrogen, aminoacids and vitamins, thus allowing a rapid fermentation process.

Quickgel AF

Quickgel AF forms a very compact “net” of flocculants, which ultimately gives the wines brightness, andmakes it easier to filter.

The sediment left at the bottom of the tank will be very compact, making for easy and clean racking.

Filtration can be carried out 48 hours after addition without any problems in filtration flow rates.

Carbosil

Carbosil cleans the base from the residual aromatic compounds produced by the yeasts as well as remove natural pigments of the yeast in the base.

Arabinol Arôme

Arabinol Arôme is a blend of selected arabic gums that can provide a great contribution to the sensory profile of seltzers, increasing perceived mouthfeel and sweetness without adding calories and improving bubble stability.

Microcid

Microcid provides both antioxidant (citric and ascorbic acid) and antimicrobial (potassium sorbate and potassium metabisulphite) effects, Microcid improves the stability and shelf-life of your seltzer.

Desulfin

If hard seltzer shows reductive odors, try adding a drop of Desulfin in the glass. Your beverage will improve with an adequate addition of Desulfin.

Danmil Carbon pads

Danmil Carbon filtration pads can easily be applied to have clear, odourless Seltzer bases. Filtration through Danmil Carbon not only removes fermentation-related hazes, but also the yellow tones and any yeast-derived aromas in the fermented beverage. The higher efficiency compared to regular activated carbon is explained by a more efficient liquid-carbon contact.
