Description
Winemaking Bentonite – 1 kg
- Features – Bentonite causes a good clarification and a quick curing of solid lumps and masses.
It has the ability to increase its volume in water (gelation) and cause the flocculation and precipitation of colloids and proteins.
- Dosage – determining the exact amount of bentonite required normally requires a trial run on a small amount of wine with varying amounts.
However, for white wines we can use from 50g to 80g per 100 liters of wine, while for reds 50g to 70g per 100 liters of wine.
- How to use – dissolve the bentonite with warm water, adding it little by little and mix it until it becomes a paste.
then add the pulp to the wine and mix vigorously.
- We let the mud settle to the bottom and after 10 days we filter it.
