Kettle Fining: Alesol CS1
Alesol CS1 is a clarifying agent for wort, fruit juice and wine. Commonly used at the end of the wort boil just like Isinglass, Irish Moss or Protafloc. Can also be used for clarification of beer in the yeast tank in tanks up to 6000 L.
It is recommended for use in:
• Fining applications requiring a high degree of fining action, where water addition may be a limitation such as beer wort fining.
• Beverages usually difficult to clarify by other agents. Ie. Fruit juices
• Fruit wine clarification
Alesol CS1 comes in liquid form and should be stored at room temperature in original containers away from sunlight. Do not freeze.
PRODUCT INFO
DESCRIPTION
Alesol CS1 is a specifically designed fining agent for wort, wine, fruit juice and beer. It consists of amorphous silicon dioxide at a concentration of 30%. Technical characteristics such as surface area, particle size and charge are specifically modified in order to achieve the highest possible absorption at hot break. After the absorption at recommended doses, an immediate sedimentation takes place. The technical properties of Alesol CS1 lead to a boost in performance compared to ordinary silica sols. This leads to a quicker and coherent sedimentation. That way, it shortens the duration of whirlpool, reducing the risk of of Dimethylsulphide (DMS) formation. This in return bring less EBC(colour) and improved taste stability of the beer. The specific charge of Alesol CS1 and its absorption process do not cause any negative influence to the taste and head retention even at higher than recommended doses.
ALESOL CS1 TREATMENT RESULTS IN
Cleaner wort
Reduction in mg/L of hot break
Less wastage of wort
Compact sedimentation
Enhanced filterability
In some cases, Enhanced stability
Unlike most other silica sols, Silica particles of Alesol CS1 have no Aluminum in its chemical structure. Owing to its composition, Alesol CS1 requires a low dosing (15-30 g/hL), compared to other silica sols.
COMPOSITION & PHYSICAL STATE
Liquid amorphous silicon dioxide.
DOSAGE
Added to wort at 15-30 g/hL ratio. Higher doses can be required in wort composed of larger quantities of adjunct (corn, millet, rice, syrup etc). Specific lab testing at different dosages is recommended in order to achieve optimal results.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
In wort, Alesol CS1 can be added directly to the kettle at the end of the boiling, at least 5 minutes past last hop additions. It can also be dosed using automatic dosing units. Additionally, Alesol CS1 can be dosed in continuous flow between kettle and whirlpool unit. In case of a leakage rinse the surface with plain water.
STORAGE
Store Alesol CS1 in a cool and dry place away from sunlight, heat and frost. Long exposure to air should be avoided since amorphous silica has a tendency to dry out fast and gel up.
