• 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.

Benefits:

• Improved hot break compaction in the whirlpool
• Improved yeast vitality during fermentation
• Improved filtration – longer filter runs
• Improved beer haze and colloidal stability
