Wine Making Additives (During Ageing)

Engineered blend of cellulose fibers and perlite for optimal filter aid performance Provides a stable, porous filtration layer with excellent particle retention Enhances filtration flow rates while minimizing clogging and pressure buildup Ideal for pre-coat filtration systems, including rotary drum and vacuum filters Free of diatomaceous earth — safer handling and reduced environmental impact AEB Fibroxcel 30 is a high-performance filtration aid composed of purified cellulose fibers and perlite, specifically designed to improve clarity and flow in wine, cider, juice, and other beverage filtration. Used as a pre-coat layer, Fibroxcel 30 creates a uniform, porous structure that traps particulates while maintaining excellent permeability and minimizing pressure increases. It’s particularly effective on rotary drum vacuum filters and other pre-coating systems where filter cake stability and throughput are critical. As a non-DE alternative, it offers safer handling, easier disposal, and improved environmental compatibility. Usage Protocol Fibroxcel 30 is typically used to form a pre-coat layer on filter surfaces prior to filtration. May also be used in combination with finer grades (e.g., Fibroxcel 15 or 20) for multi-stage filtration setups. Pre-mix with clean water or product before dosing into the filtration system.   Dosage Guidelines (Generic – adjust based on system and turbidity) Application Type Typical Dosage Pre-coat layer 300–600 g/m² of filter surface Body feed (if applicable) 0.1–0.3 g/L of product being filtered Note: Dosage depends on the type of filtration system, product load, and desired clarity. Always conduct pilot trials to fine-tune use rates.

Rapid hydration and minimal dust for easy preparation and cleaner processing Exceptional protein removal capacity for wine, juice, and cider clarification Highly effective at low dosages, reducing volume loss and preserving aromas Thermally activated for consistent swelling and dispersion performance Low sodium formulation minimizes impact on wine flavor and stability AEB Bentogran is a premium, granulated sodium bentonite specifically engineered for efficient clarification and protein stabilization in wine, juice, and cider. Unlike powdered bentonites that are dusty and slow to hydrate, Bentogran’s granulated form allows for rapid dispersion, low dust, and easy handling — making cellar operations cleaner and more efficient. Its high swelling capacity and selective adsorption enable excellent clarity with minimal stripping of aromas and color. Thermally activated and quality-controlled by AEB, Bentogran ensures consistent performance in a wide range of wine styles. Usage Protocol Slowly sprinkle Bentogran into 10x its weight in clean, room-temperature water while stirring. Allow to hydrate for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight). Stir again before use to ensure uniform suspension. Add to must or wine during fermentation or post-fermentation, depending on clarification needs. Mix thoroughly into the tank and allow settling for 24–72 hours before racking or filtration.   Dosage Guidelines Application Dosage (g/L) Dosage (g/gal) Protein stabilization (white/rosé wine) 0.3–1.0 1.1–3.8 Juice clarification 0.3–0.8 1.1–3.0 Wine clarification (red or white) 0.2–0.6 0.8–2.3 Must clarification (pre-fermentation) 0.2–0.5 0.8–1.9 Always perform bench trials to determine the optimal dosage for your specific juice or wine

Yeast cell wall nutrient designed to support healthy, efficient fermentations Helps prevent stuck or sluggish fermentations by absorbing harmful compounds and providing vital sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, and nutrients to support yeast health Recommended for Red & White Wine, High-Gravity Beer, Cider, and Stressful Fermentations Angel Yeast CW101 is a traditional yeast cell wall (aka yeast hulls) nutrient designed to support healthy, efficient fermentations. Rich in sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, proteins, and polysaccharides, CW101 helps prevent stuck or sluggish fermentations by absorbing harmful compounds and supplying survival factors. Ideal for both wine and beer applications. Adsorbs medium-chain fatty acids (e.g., hexanoic, octanoic, decanoic acids) to alleviate yeast inhibition Provides vital sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, and nutrients to support yeast health Enhances fermentation vigor and viability in stressful, high-sugar or high-alcohol environments Strong flocculation and easy-to-use inert powder Efficient in both wine musts and high-gravity worts Usage Rate 0.2–0.4 g/L (200–400 ppm) added at yeast pitch or mid-fermentation, depending on stress levels Application Instructions Dissolve in water or must/wort and mix in at the start of fermentation or when signs of stress appear. No rehydration needed. Applications Red & White Wine • High-Gravity Beer • Cider • Stuck or Sluggish Fermentations • Stressful Fermentations

Gelatin for improving clarity and aromas IOC Inocolle™ is a multi-purpose gelatin that is equally useful in juice and wine for clarification and improving aromas. In red wines, it can improve texture, aromas, and flavors of the finished wine In red wines, can mildly reduce bitterness and astringency, though COLLE PERLE is better for extremely tannic wines Can remove unstable/colloidal material It is particularly useful for juice fining and flotation Flocculates and settles well, especially when used in conjunction with the silica gel GELOCOLLE Partially hydrolyzed gelatin solution   Stage of Winemaking: Juice, wine (pre-bentonite addition) Contact Time: 1 week Impact: Clarification and aroma revelation Formulation: Gelatin Frequently used in: whites, rosés, fruit wines, cider   Recommended Dosage: Bench trials recommended for wine Juice or wine 300-1000 ppm (30–100mL/hL ) (1.1-3.8 L/1000 gal) Usage - Juice: Dilute Inocolle 1:1 in water 15–25°C (59–77°F). Add to juice gradually and mix thoroughly. Rack once settled. Usage - Wine: Dilute Inocolle 1:1 in water 15–25°C (59–77°F). Add Inocolle to wine gradually and mix thoroughly. Racking should be done after settling (typically 1 week). It is not recommended to leave gelatins in wine for more than 30 days. Inocolle can be used in conjunction with GELOCOLLE to improve settling or prevent overfining in whites, rosés, and ciders (see scottlab.com/fining for directions). Storage: Dated expiration. Store in a cool, dry, odor-free environment. Once opened, use immediately.

Liquid gum arabic for colloidal protection IOC Flashgum R Liquid™ helps reduce the risk of colloidal deposits in bottled wine and cider. Protects color in reds, rosés, and fruit wines Gives perception of sweet and soft characters on the palate Reduces astringency and increases the perception of volume and fullness in the mouth Especially usefully in unfiltered wines, where it can minimize colloidal sediment Can be added 24-72 hours before bottling and does not impact filtration throughput (if filtering) Gum arabic derived from Acacia seyal   Stage of Winemaking: Pre-bottling Requires Racking: No Impact: Colloidal protection, sweetness Format: Liquid Formulation: Gum arabic Frequently used in: Reds, whites, rosés, fruit wines, cider    Recommended Dosage: Bench trials recommended Wine 400–1200 ppm (40–120 mL/hL) (1.5–4.5 L/1000 gal) Usage: Flashgum R Liquid should be the last commercial product added to the wine. Flashgum R Liquid should be added to wine that has already been protein-stabilized and pre-filtered (DE, lenticular, sheet filtration, or crossflowed) just prior to bottling. If available, it is best to use an inline dosing pump to incorporate Flashgum R Liquid into the wine. If an inline dosing pump is unavailable, add product and mix well to obtain even distribution. If the wine will be filtered at the time of bottling, it is recommended that the addition be done 24–72 hours prior to bottling to allow for proper integration. Flashgum R Liquid is able to pass through final membrane filters (0.45 μm) found on most bottling lines, though filtration is not required after adding Flashgum R Liquid. It is strongly recommended to conduct bench trials to assess Flashgum R Liquid’s potential impact on filterability and to ensure accurate dosing for colloidal stability.   Storage: Dated expiration. Store in a cool, dry, odor-free environment. Reseal opened packaging immediately.
