Spring’Blanche™ is a yeast protein extract specifically developed to introduce and maintain a permanent haze in beer (ideal for wheat beers, Belgian Style Wit/Blanches – or hazy IPAs).
Beer contains polyphenols which may form complexes by interacting with some specific proteins. These complexes create a haze when they remain in suspension. The haze level will depend on the polyphenol content in the beer and the particles density (W/V) will impact the stability of the haze. Spring’Blanche™ is a yeast extract rich in native proteins of various molecular weights which will specifically interact to produce a permanent stable haze. It is ideal to produce hazy beers (wheat beers, Belgian Style Wit / Blanches or hazy IPAs).
Ingredients: Yeast Protein Extract
Dosage: 5 - 20 g/hl. An optimum dosing rate of 10 g/hL will provide a stable haze of approximately 20°EBC.
Haze produced by Spring’Blanche™ is highly dependent on the beer composition and brewing process. It is recommended to perform some preliminary dosage trials before the first use in commercial beers. It is to be pointed out that beer pasteurization may slightly increase the final haze in beer.
It is recommended to dose Spring’Blanche™ at the beginning of the maturation step to get an optimum result. Spring’BlancheTM addition during fermentation is not recommended.
