CLEAR ALCOTEC KLAR

Turbo Klar 24 Alcotec - Super fast fining

• Clearing your alcohol in 24 hours!
• Turbo Yeast like the Alcotec 24 becomes even more useful if you can clear the wash equally fast.
• With the new Alcotec 24 TurboKlar - a 24 hour fining agent for turbo fermentations - this is now possible!
• The Alcotec 24 TurboKlar will clear your turbowash in only 24 hours to brightness, or near brightness. Ready for your reflux still, and for then final treatment with activated carbon and essences.
• Alcotec 24 TurboKlar will help producing very clean alcohol with a minimum of off-flavours.
• Your spirit will normally need treatment with activated carbon for maximum quality but you may well find that your charcoal lasts longer because of the clean alcohol produced.

Fermentation - How it all works

• So what is fermentation really? Well, slightly simplified, it is when yeast cells are eating sugar and (unfortunately for themselves) produce alcohol as a by-product.
• Alcohol is poisonous to yeast cells and in the end it will kill them. But it turns out that yeast cells are cleverer than you would expect.
• They can't stop eating sugar, it is just too yummy, so they have to do something else to stay alive for as long as possible.
• When they sense that the food supply is getting low (and the alcohol level high) they start to grow a lot of hairs (filaments).
• After swimming around for a while these hairy yeast cells get tangled up with each other and form large "clouds" that will eventually get so heavy that they sink down and form a sediment.
• The cells in the upper layer of the sediment will work as "life guards", protecting the others with their own bodies.
• This enables some cells to stay alive for a long period in a poisonous environment. And this is the reason your wine will clear - eventually - even without fining agents.

Alcotec 24 TurboKlar: Speeding things up

• Alcotec TurboKlar finings is made from natural products and works a bit like "hair extensions" for the yeast cells.
• It is a two step process where the first sachet (kieselsol) will speed up the natural hair growth so the "clouds" appear sooner and the second sachet contains very long molecules (chitosan) that will be the "extra hair" which tie up the "clouds" more firmly.
• So in short: Add the first sachet to speed up natural hair growth, then add the long molecules of sachet no 2.

Instructions

• First rack off to remove any sediment, then shake or stir to remove Co2. Add sachet A, stir gently, wait 1-2 hours. Add sachet B, stir gently, leave 24 hours to clear.
