Effect of Silica Sol on Beer Clarification and Filterability
All clear? | Raible proposed in 1983 that silica sol could be used to improve filtration of beer [1]. It is in conformity with the Purity Law and can be added in the brewhouse, in the storage tank or immediately ahead of the filter. However, there is no easy rule for predicting the success of adding silica sol. Appropriate laboratory filtration tests can indicate when use of silica sol would be particularly advantageous.
