Description:
A proprietary alginate based fining agent which covers a broad spectrum of hazes. It requires a little more care in preparation than bentonite, but generally gives excellent clarity in home made and commercial wine, requires no tannin addition and is quite neutral in respect to flavor changes. Normal usage is 0.5 to 1.5 grams per gallon. In preparation it is best heated in a double boiler until the little 'fish eyes' all dissolve into a homogenous mass and then immediately added to the wine. Avoid scorching the material by adding more water if necessary when heating.
