These products promote rapid settlement of yeasts to form compact sediments.
Cider Brite will remove certain astringents and harsh flavours in cider without affecting the esters or fruity bouquet.
Add Cider Brite cider finings to the cider whenever it remains cloudy after fermentation and racking.
Many types of finings are available, but for hundreds of years isinglass has been a most reliable treatment for clearing both beer, wine and cider.
Although isinglass is convenient to apply in the liquid form, there has always been concern over its shelf life.
From the time of manufacture, it begins to deteriorate, a simple analogy being that of a charged battery that begins to discharge upon standing.
Isinglass liquid also denature rapidly, with consequent loss of fining properties, when exposed to temperatures above 20C, even for short periods of time.
Cider Brite sachets however, are available in freeze-dried powder form.
This advanced product can be stored almost indefinitely at any temperature and still remain 100% active.
Cider Brite is a highly effective fining reagent, containing a mixture of both freeze-dried isinglass, Malto-dextrin, Potassium Metabisulphite and Malic Acid.
Instructions:
Whisk contents into half a cup of cold water for 1 minute. Leave for 15 minutes then whisk again and add to the cider towards the end of the fermentation.
