Staze - 1KG

Staze is a 100% natural material extracted from renewable plant materials that can be added during beer maturation processes to create a natural, stable haze. Stable Haze—Staze!

Some beer styles are intentionally hazy (e.g. NEIPA), but this haze can sometimes affect the beer’s stability and shelf life. Hazy beers are susceptible to oxidation, which can quickly degrade their fresh hop character and lead to off-flavours. Thanks to Staze’s radical scavenging and metal complexing capabilities, Staze acts as a powerful stabilising agent to enhance shelf life.

HOW IT WORKS

Staze features high-quality, medium- to high-molecular-weight hydrolysable tannic acid extracted and purified from tree galls or leaves. These gallotannins ensure a consistent level of polymerisation, resulting in a permanent haze when they interact with haze-inducing proteins. Additionally, it functions as a metal-chelating agent, preventing Fenton’s reaction and thus helping to enhance flavour stability and freshness.

MEASURE & MIX

• Use 10 litres of brewing water (40 -60°C) per kilogram of Staze
• Always add water first and then Staze gradually while stirring continuously to avoid lumps
• Continue moderate stirring until fully dissolved (brown, transparent solution)
