Used in wine making to produce greater clarity, without changing the smell, body, or flavor. This product can be extremely useful in removing haze left behind by other finings.
To Use:
- Heat water to boiling [1-2 gallons of water per pound Hot Mix Sparkolloid NF (8-15 L/kg)].
- Slowly stir in the Hot Mix Sparkolloid NF. Maintain temperature above 82°C(180°F) while agitating the mixture constantly until all of the translucent globules of clarifier have been dissolved and the mixture is smooth and creamy (approximately 20-30 minutes).
- While still hot, slowly add the mixture to the wine. This is easily accomplished by adding to a tank being mixed by a Guth agitator or by introducing the hot mixture into the line during a pump-over.
- Let the wine settle one week or more, depending somewhat on the volume of wine involved.
- Then filter, preferably from the top of the tank.
