Apex Cultures FlocuClear 1 Kg

Apex Cultures FlocuClear Fining Agent 1 Kg is a professional grade wort fining solution designed to improve trub separation, reduce wort losses, and produce a cleaner transfer from the kettle or whirlpool. Made with colloidal silica containing 30% amorphous silicon dioxide, FlocuClear selectively adsorbs coarse trub particles and encourages them to form a dense, compact sediment while minimizing the removal of desirable brewing compounds. Better trub compaction can improve wort recovery, shorten settling time, and make downstream filtration more efficient without negatively affecting beer flavor or foam stability. Its aluminum free formulation makes FlocuClear a practical processing aid for commercial breweries seeking more efficient wort separation and consistent brewhouse performance, particularly when working with recipes containing significant quantities of unmalted adjuncts.

• Product Type: Silica-sol wort fining agent

• Package Size: 1 Kg

• Active Material: Colloidal silica solution containing 30% amorphous silicon dioxide

• Primary Use: Promotes efficient removal and compaction of coarse trub

• Yield Benefit: Helps reduce wort trapped in sediment, potentially improving brewhouse recovery

• Filtration: Improved sedimentation can reduce solids carried into downstream filtration

• Beer Quality: Designed to work without negatively affecting flavor or foam stability

• Formulation: Aluminum-free silica sol; SiO₂ is not treated with Al₂O₃

• Recommended Dosage: 15–30 g/hL, equivalent to 0.15–0.30 g/liter

• Homebrew Reference: Approximately 2.8 - 5.7 g for 5 gallons or 5.7 - 11.4 g for 10 gallons

• Application: Add directly to the wort near the end of the boil, separately from hops and approximately 5 minutes after the hop addition; it may also be introduced through compatible automated dosing systems

• Adjunct Brewing: Higher dosage rates may be necessary for wort containing substantial amounts of unmalted ingredients such as maize, rice, or syrups; bench testing is recommended

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry location away from heat and do not freeze!
