Chitosan Liquid Fining - LiquorQuik®

Chitosan is an old and trusted fining agent derived from chitin, a polysaccharide found in crustacean shells. When added to wine or beer, a mild electrostatic attraction binds yeast and other particulates to the Chitosan. This accelerates the sedimentation process (flocculation), clarifying the beverage more quickly and effectively. Chitosan does not require the presence of tannins in the beverage, making it a good choice for clarifying white wines or other pale beverages. Chitosan is often used in conjunction with other fining agents, especially colloidal silica products.

Recommended usage: Gently stir Chitosan into wine, beer or alco-base. Allow 12-48 hours to clear. Normal dosage rates range between 150-200 mL/HL. Use 1.0-1.3fl oz to dose a 5-gallon batch. For best results use in conjunction with LiquorQuik® Kieselsol (D1) or liquid gelatine. Bench trials are recommended.
