- Fast-Acting Hot-Side Clarifier: SilaFine Hot rapidly improves wort clarity in the kettle and whirlpool by helping form a tighter, more compact trub pile for cleaner cast-out.
- Improves Knockout Speed: By accelerating sedimentation, SilaFine Hot supports shorter whirlpool rests and more efficient brewhouse operation.
- Supports Better Fermentation: Clearer wort entering the fermenter can lead to faster, healthier fermentations and reduced haze precursors in finished beer.
- Vegan-Friendly & Purity Compliant: Made from pure, natural silica sol, SilaFine Hot is vegan-friendly and complies with the Reinheitsgebot German beer purity law.
SilaFine Hot is an easy-to-use fining agent designed specifically for the hot side. Added during the boil or directly into the whirlpool, it helps bind and settle haze-forming particles and coarse trub so wort runs bright and clean into the fermenter. SilaFine Hot does not affect foam-positive proteins or beer flavor.
Use
Add SilaFine Hot during the last 5 minutes of the boil or inline to the whirlpool stream for full dispersion. Allow the whirlpool rest to compact trub before knockout.
Standard Dose:
- 0.5–1 mL per gallon
- 15–30 mL per hL
- 19–38 mL per bbl
Use the higher end of the range for adjunct-heavy or high-protein worts, such as those containing wheat, oats, or large percentages of rice or corn. Avoid overdosing, as excessive finings may temporarily increase haze and lengthen settling time.
Whirlpool Best Practices
- Add separately from late hop additions for best clarity.
- Ensure adequate mixing or flow when dosing.
- Expect a tighter, more stable trub cone and improved wort clarity at knockout.
- Works effectively in both small brewhouses and large commercial systems.
Additional Notes
SilaFine Hot uses a commercial-grade silica sol at 30% concentration and is compliant with global beer purity standards.
