Sky Granules

Sky Granules are kettle finings produced from partially refined carrageenan, a natural polysaccharide derived from seaweed, presented in granule form. They are designed for direct addition to the brewing kettle in the final stages of the boil to assist with the removal of haze-active proteins.

This product works by binding to haze-forming proteins in the hot wort, encouraging a well-defined hot break and significantly reducing protein carryover into fermentation. Benefits include improved yeast vitality, reduced downstream processing time, energy and cost savings, better filterability, and a positive contribution to the colloidal stability and shelf life of the finished beer.

Sky Granules are well suited to breweries with established weighing equipment or higher-volume requirements, where granular form allows for accurate weighed-out dosing. They contain the same active material as Sky Tabs in a format optimised for larger-scale operations. Dosage rates should be reviewed regularly, especially after receiving new season malt where protein levels may differ between harvests.

Sky Granules are suitable for:

• Kettle finings additions during the boil
• Hot break improvement
• Removal of haze-sensitive proteins
• Reducing protein carryover into fermentation
• Improving yeast vitality and fermentation health
• Improving downstream filterability
• Extending beer shelf life and colloidal stability
• Higher-volume brewing operations and weighed dosing
