Polyclar VT (PVPP) (1 oz)

A non-soluble clarifier that removes both haze causing polyphenols as well as yeast cells. Mix 2 Tbls (or 5 g) with one cup of sanitized warm water and gently stir into five gallons beer. Let stand for a few days and rack off.

Polyclar VT is a coarser grade of PVPP (140 micron particle size), optimized for addition to vessels, where faster settling is required. The larger particle size also facilitates settling of the stabilizer, allowing the majority of the product to be left behind with the lees at racking.

A typical contact time of between 3 to 10 days is required, although there are no adverse effects from leaving Polyclar in contact with the wine for longer periods.

For wine use .5 to 2.5 grams per gallon depending upon severity of problem and desired affect.

A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 1.1 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. We do not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

It is a 100% polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVPP) beer stabilizer. It can be used on its own or in conjunction with other stabilizers.

It is effective and highly selective for the removal of haze-producting polyphenols. It creates protection and chill and permanent haze development. It prevents the oxidation of flavanoids which can contribute to harsh, astringent and stale flavors in beer. There is no negative impact on foam, flavor or other quality parameters.

Note: Requires Filtration!
