Kieselsol
£3.00
This Kieselsol is in liquid form and can be used for clearing wine, beer, juices and liqueurs.
Kieselsol, being negatively charged, combines with positively charged particles such as proteins.
It works quickest when used in conjunction with Gelatine, which is positively charged and combines with negatively charged particles such as tannins and yeast.
These combined particles, now larger and heavier, settle to the bottom so that after a few days the clear wine can be racked from above.
