Kieselsol Clarifier 15% is a liquid silica-based fining agent used to clear haze from wines, juices, and beers by attracting and binding suspended particles so they settle out of solution. The 100ml bottle provides a convenient quantity for home brewers making small to medium batches, and it works particularly well when paired with a complementary fining agent such as chitosan for a two-stage clarification process. Overall it is a reliable, widely trusted product that produces noticeably clearer results with minimal impact on flavour or aroma.
