Hydrosolubilized liquid gelatin making application immediate and easy Rapid flocculation produces heavy, compact sediments that settle quickly High polyphenol-reactivity reduces bitterness without dulling color Excellent compatibility with silica sol for combined protein stabilization Low-dust, pre-hydrolyzed liquid avoids solubilization issues common in powder gelatins Gelsol is a stable, hydrosoluble gelatin colloid designed for effective clarification of musts, wines, and distillates. When in contact with polyphenols, it forms heavy macro-coagula that quickly settle, improving clarity while reducing bitterness and astringency. In red wines it minimizes off-tannins without affecting anthocyanin-based color. Gelsol works faster and cleaner than powdered gelatins, and pairs well with silica sol to bolster protein-haze removal—ideal for co-fining applications. Its liquid format ensures precise dosing and smooth integration throughout the batch.  Usage Protocol Dilute Gelsol 1:1 with chlorine-free water or wine before addition. Add slowly while stirring or via a dosing system to ensure even distribution. For enhanced protein removal, add silica sol after Gelsol has fully dispersed (~30 minutes). See below for more details. Allow 24–48 hours for flocculation and sedimentation before racking or filtration.   Dosage Guidelines Application Level Gelsol (mL/L) Gelsol (mL/gal) Light clarification 0.05–0.15 0.19–0.57 Moderate clarification 0.15–0.30 0.57–1.14 Intensive clarification 0.30–0.50 1.14–1.89     Using Gelsol When Pairing With Silica Sol You typically use 25–50% less Gelsol when pairing with Silica Sol because Gelsol binds negatively charged phenolic and protein compounds.Silica Sol binds to positively charged protein-Gelsol complexes to complete the flocculation. The combination is synergistic, meaning you achieve the same (or better) clarification with lower doses of each. This sequence helps create stable, fast-settling lees and improves filterability. Step 1: Add Gelsol first to the tank (diluted 1:1 in water or wine), with good mixing. Wait ~15–30 minutes to allow Gelsol to bind proteins and form complexes. Step 2: Add Silica Sol (also pre-diluted), again with mixing. This ensures effective floc formation and maximizes settling.

Designed for use during fermentation to stabilize color and improve phenolic integration Mixes much easier than powdered tannins thanks to its liquid formulation Composed of ellagic tannins (oak) and condensed tannins (exotic woods) Protects wine from oxidation by acting as a sacrificial tannin and antioxidant Promotes anthocyanin-tannin binding, improving long-term color and mouthfeel stability Ideal for red wines needing structure, color retention, and oxidative protection from the start Fermotan Liquid is a balanced blend of ellagic, proanthocyanidinic, and gallic tannins designed to strengthen color, stabilize phenolic compounds, and shape the sensory profile of wines. Its liquid formulation makes it easy to dose and ensures rapid integration without the need for prior solubilization. Used during red wine fermentation, Fermotan Liquid enhances structure, preserves varietal character, and supports long-term aging potential. The result is a wine with deeper color, lifted aromatics, and a rounder, more polished mouthfeel compared to tannins from other sources. From the onset of fermentation, anthocyanins are extracted faster than tannins. In order not to extract these color compounds in vain, it is imperative to protect them from the oxygen and steer them towards stable polymerization forms, such as those with proanthocyanidins. The synergy among the three classes of tannins (ellagic, proanthocyanidinic and gallic), exerts a triple protective action towards the anthocyanins. Protocol Add directly to the must at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation, ensuring thorough homogenization. Usage Rates 0.05–0.20 ml/L (0.19–0.76 ml/gal)
