Description
Polyclar Plus 730 single-use balanced beer stabilizer is an optimized blend of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) and silica xerogel. It is a single-use product offering a highly effective means of preventing non-biological haze in beer.
The combined use of PVPP and silica gel provides a balanced stabilization of both haze-producing constituents, preventing the protein-polyphenol complexes from forming.

Methods of Use

Polyclar ™ Plus 730 single-use balanced beer stabilizer is made up as an 8% to 12% slurry in de-aerated water. The minimum recommended hydration time is 60 minutes and the slurry should be kept constantly agitated to ensure proper hydration and mixing.
Sparging with CO2 may be used in the dosing vessel to minimize oxygen pickup.
The Polyclar Plus 730 single-use balanced beer stabilizer slurry may be added during transfer from fermentation to maturation or directly to the maturation vessel. It is usually added to the beer stream en route
to filtration, via a separate stabilizer-dosing tank, or by addition to the diatomaceous earth (DE)/ Kieselguhr slurry tank for combined dosing with filter aid. The use of a trap filter after the DE filter is recommended.
Polyclar Plus 730 single-use balanced beer stabilizer is effective with a contact time of a few minutes. However, for maximum benefit a contact time of 10 minutes is recommended. This can be achieved with proportional dosing of the stabilizer into the beer stream on entry into the maturation vessel or prior to the inlet buffer tank.
