MashLife - 1KG

MashLife, an extract derived from pomegranates, fights the mechanisms of beer staling—a highly effective and completely natural product! The extract does not add flavour or colour. It preserves the colour in pale beers and fresh, crisp beer flavours—for longer!
The polyphenols found in pomegranate extract form large complexes, specifically with iron and copper, which facilitates their removal through lautering, with the trub, and filtering. This impedes the formation of off-flavours whilst preserving precious hop bitterness and beer colour during storage and transport.
MashLife can bind to some haze-forming proteins (particularly with thiol groups), thus supporting beer clarification and colloidal stability.
Removing thiol-containing compounds makes the beer more robust against light, hence the formation of skunky, lightstruck off-flavours.

HOW IT WORKS

The appearance of off-flavours and the decline of fresh flavour/aroma characteristics (e.g. bitterness, hop aroma) are often linked to oxygen and transition metal ions (e.g. iron, copper) present in packaged beers. In many oxidative reactions, radicals are formed as intermediates, reacting with beer components and greatly catalysing beer deterioration. Iron and copper play a key role in the oxidative degradation of wort and beer as they drive the formation of these radicals!  MashLife is a naturally occurring chelating agent, meaning it binds to iron and copper, stopping them from getting to the oxygen and creating the damaging species in the first place.  It protects your wort from oxidising when it’s under high thermal stress and increases the antioxidative power of your beer! Fresher beer – for longer!
