Product Description
Harris Homecrafts Vin Brite Wine Finings (sachet).
Simple to use - quick to clear
Treats 22.5L / 5 Gallons
These products promote rapid settlement of yeast's to form compact sediments.
Vin Brite will remove certain astringents and harsh flavours in wines without affecting the esters or fruity bouquet.
Add Vin Brite wine finings to the wine whenever it remains cloudy after fermentation and racking.
Many types of wine finings are available, but for hundreds of years isinglass has been a most reliable treatment for clearing both beer and wine.
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.
Vin 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.
Vin Brite is a highly effective fining reagent, containing a mixture of both freeze-dried isinglass and silica hydrogel.
The latter is normally only available to commercial breweries.
Instructions:
Whisk contents into half a cup of cold water for 1 minute. Leave for 15 minutes then whisk again and add to the wine towards the end of the fermentation.
