Silicon Dioxide
Silicon Dioxide - clarifier
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) is commonly used in the brewing process as a clarifying agent. It helps remove turbidity-causing particles such as yeast and protein from beer, resulting in a clearer and more visually appealing beer.
Silica acts as a binding agent, attracting and retaining suspended beer particles. The larger clumps formed by the silica and particles settle out, making the beer clearer.
Advantages of using silica:
Better transparency: A bright and clear image is achieved.
Preserves flavor: Reduces flavor loss during clarification.
Efficiency: Reduces the need for filtering, saving time and resources.
In essence, silica is a valuable tool in the brewer's arsenal to help produce high-quality clear beer while preserving its flavor characteristics.
