Isinglass Finings
SkyFine CONC
SkyFine Conc is a concentrated isinglass finings solution for breweries, diluted before use to improve yeast settling and beer clarification. It promotes rapid floc formation and sedimentation, reducing conditioning time while supporting filtration efficiency and foam stability.
SkyFine Conc is a concentrated traditional isinglass finings solution prepared from selected fish swim bladders. Supplied as a concentrate to be diluted before use, it is particularly suited to higher-volume brewers looking to manage logistics and cost without compromising on the performance of a traditional isinglass fining.
This product works by carrying a positive charge that attracts negatively charged yeast cells, binding them into larger flocs that settle rapidly to the bottom of the vessel. The result is faster clarification, reduced conditioning time, improved filtration efficiency, and a positive contribution to foam stability. SkyFine Conc also helps reduce residual protein and lipid levels, supporting overall beer quality and stability.
SkyFine Conc must be diluted before use at a ratio of 1 part SkyFine Conc to 2 parts water. Once diluted, it is applied at typical isinglass dosage rates. For optimum performance in cask-conditioned beer, it should be used in conjunction with SkyFine Aux auxiliary finings. The correct dosage depends on beer recipe, yeast cell count, and yeast type, and should be established through a finings optimisation trial.
SkyFine Conc is suitable for:
- Cask-conditioned beer clarification
- Brewery-conditioned beer clarification
- Yeast removal during conditioning
- Reducing protein and lipid levels in beer
- Improving filtration efficiency
- Enhancing foam stability in finished beer
- Higher-volume isinglass applications
