KICK Carrageenan ® Kettle Finings
KICK Carrageenan kettle finings are an effective way to improve flocculation and clarity in the kettle and throughout the rest of the brewing process. The active ingredient in KICK Carrageenan is kappa carrageenan, a high molecular weight polysaccharide derived from red seaweed. When added near the end of the boil, kappa carrageenan binds to haze-forming proteins and other small particles and flocculates rapidly, resulting in improved wort and beer clarity. Improve Trub Flocculation and Clarity
KICK Carrageenan G (Granular) KICK Carrageenan G is composed of 100% granular carrageenan. It is produced at a larger particle size to encourage easier handling and dosing. Add KICK Carrageenan G 20 minutes prior to the end of boil to fully activate the kappa carrageenan – no hydration necessary.
KICK Carrageenan Customer Testimonial “I would recommend KICK Carrageenan to anyone looking to brew clear beer, we even use it on our hazier beers to knock out some of the the non- permenant haze...and it’s very easy to use overall.”
