Tetra Iso-Extract

Description

Looking to enhance foam? Tetra Iso-Extract is a homogeneous, pure aqueous solution of potassium salts that will greatly enhance foam retention, lacing, and cling in beer. An alternative is Alpha Extract.

Advantages

  • Foam stability
  • Foam lacing & cling
  • Anti-microbial

Usage & Methods 

  • Use 3 – 6 ppm for improved foam
    • Good – add product to empty vessel and push with nitrogen (NOT CO2) into beer line when starting to fill tank
    • Better – Add product to empty beer keg and fill with pH 8-9 adjusted de-aerated, de-ionized water and push with nitrogen (NOT CO2) into beer line when starting to fill tank
    • Best – meter the concentrated product into transfer stream using a diaphragm pump. Attempt to delivery evenly throughout 80% of the transfer of beer. Dispense solution into the beer transfer stream pre filtration.

Notes & Suggestions 

  • Tetra contribute an upfront non-lingering bitterness and 1 ppm of Tetra will contribute 1 IBU of bitterness
  • Post fermentation for best utilization and efficiency
  • Inject on suction side of beer transfer pump
  • Do not add to DE slurry tanks
  • Make sure introduced at least 5 Meters upstream of filter
  • Diluting with beer lowers utilization and can result in precipitation of resins
  • Product will freeze – must ship next day air during winter months

Package & Storage 

  • Only use nitrogen to purge container headspace free of air. CO2 will react causing precipitation
