Compac CG (CCG 311) and CG Tablets (CGT 311)

Wort Clarification

Compac CG is the semi-refined, granulated form of the seaweed species Euchema cottonii.

The species Euchema cottonii is rich in the kappa isomer of carrageenan. When added to boiling wort, kappa carrageenan reacts strongly with soluble proteins, notably the proline rich haze precursor fraction. When the wort is cooled the carrageenan protein complex becomes unstable and precipitates out of solution. The clear wort that results produces a beer with enhanced processing characteristics.

• Improved hot break compaction in the whirlpool
• Improved yeast vitality during fermentation
• Improved filtration – longer filter runs
• Improved beer haze and colloidal stability
