BENTONITE 3.5oz Food Grade Fining For Clearing Wine or Facial Cleanser

$2.25

Bentonite is a low cost and effective grey clay granule that is used in wine, liquor, cider, beer and mead as a clarifier.  Bentonite aids the yeast in growing quicker and stronger in the initial fermentation.  It absorbs colloidal substances and helps to settle out the dead yeast cells so that you are not transferring a lot of sediment into your secondary fermenter after racking.  It also helps to reduce the occurrence of certain off-flavors and reduces the wines ability to oxidize. Add prior to primary fermentation to clear pectic and protein haze.  Also useful for facials and soaps!  Available in custom size bulk packs at even lower cost.
