DWB 200g

Description: DWB is a formulated blend of powdered salts to increase mineral content of brewing liquor to improve its brewing quality and produce the desired beer characteristics. Benefit:  Reduces the pH during mashing and wort boiling which improves enzyme activity  Promotes the precipitation of unwanted proteins in the kettle, hop back or whirlpool  Improves health and vigour of the yeast  Improves extract yield, fermentability and wort runoff  Reduces risk of infection  Reduces extraction of undesirable silicates, tannins and polyphenols  Reduces beer stone and can prevent gushing in beer  Improves beer fining performance  Promotes head retention on beer  Adds chloride which imparts palate fullness.  Adds sulphate which give beer a drier and more bitter effect Application and rates of use: DWB is normally added to the grist prior to mashing but can be split across the mash and sparge liquor. To achieve best results we recommend any salts dosage in excess of 75g/ hl be added 2/3 with the grist and 1/3 with the sparge. This will maintain an even distribution of calcium and help maintain pH levels throughout the mash and sparge. DWB should NOT be added to the hot liquor tank (HLT), as some constituents are insoluble. They will remain in the hot liquor tank as opposed to being released into the grist, thus requiring the HLT to be cleaned on a regular basis. Rates of DWB should be determined based on the final brew-length and are dependant on the levels of calcium, sulphate and chloride present in your untreated liquor.
