Filtergel™ is used to clarify wine, beer and fruit juice. It's made from gelatin which is purified protein obtained by partial hydrolysis of collagenous raw materials. This product is usually supplied with 8-10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 60 mesh particle size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Filtergel™ and how does it clarify beverages?
Filtergel™ is a purified gelatin protein designed specifically to clarify wine, beer, and fruit juices. It binds to suspended particles, colloidal materials, and yeast, facilitating their sedimentation and leaving a clear liquid.
Which particle mesh sizes are available for this gelatin?
This product is supplied in various standard particle sizes to match different processing demands, including 8-10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60 mesh.
How does Filtergel™ benefit the beer brewing process?
In beer production, Filtergel™ acts as a foam stabilizer, supports yeast growth, and enhances the overall biostability and clarity of the final product.
Why should I avoid using boiling water to dissolve Filtergel™?
Boiling water can break down the long protein chains in gelatin, thereby reducing its gel strength and overall clarification efficiency. It is highly recommended to use an 80°C water bath instead.
What are the safety standards regarding heavy metals and microbials?
Filtergel™ conforms to strict safety regulations: Heavy metals are limited to ≤40 mg/kg, Arsenic ≤1 mg/kg, and it is certified negative for harmful pathogens like Escherichia coli and Salmonella.
What is the "Soak and melt just as much as you need" principle?
Prepared gelatin solutions can lose activity and risk microbiological contamination over time. Preparing only the exact amount required for your immediate application ensures maximum potency and hygiene.
