- Compac CG, derived from the Eucheuma cottonii seaweed, harnesses the power of semi-refined kappa carrageenan to enhance your brewing process
- By effectively binding with haze-forming proteins during the boil, Compac CG contributes to clearer wort and ultimately, a more stable beer
- Experience benefits with Compac CG, from improved hot break to enhanced yeast vitality and filtration efficiency
Compac CG contains semi refined kappa carrageenan from the seaweed species Eucheuma cottonii.
Principle:
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.
