Details

The species Eucheuma cottonii is rich in the kappa isomer of carrageenan.

When added to boiling wort, kappa carrageenan reacts strongly with soluble proteins, notably the proline-rich haze precursor fraction. When the wort is cooled the carrageenan-protein complex becomes unstable and precipitates out of solution. The clear wort that results produces a beer with enhanced processing characteristics.

Compac CG is typically added to wort at rates in the range 1–3g/hl. Variations in grist make-up, malt quality, brewing liquor, and plant operation all have a major impact on the carrageenan requirement.

Dosage: 1–3g/hl
