While this is a great fining agent, increasing the dose to 10 pounds per thousand gallons decreases the amount of tannin removed per pound, which is not unusual for tannin-protein reactions. Nonetheless this is a superb fining agent for tannic wines if you use between 2 and 7 pounds per thousand gallons. | |

This product has outperformed Gelsol in multiple trials of Cabernet Sauvignon. We have used this product at various fining rates. On average, this product removed 45ppm Tannin and 5 ppm Complex Anthocyanin per lb. | |

This is an excellent fining agent, superior to many; that it removes relatively more tannin per pound than even Gelsol, which is a workhorse fining agent. | |
