Kieselsol 30%
A highly effective silica sol fining aid for
use in the clarification of alcoholic beverages.
Product description and function
Kieselsol is an aqueous solution of food grade colloidal silicic acid for use as a fining aid in the clarification of fermented alcoholic beverages as it can be used across a wide range of acid content and pH. 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 applied directly to the beverage once fermentation is complete and the beverage has been stabilised. Recommended dosage: 15g /23-25L.
⯀ 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.
⯀ Store in original sealed containers in a cool, preferably dark place. Keep containers sealed when not in use.
