BREWING INGREDIENTS

Imagine being able to create a Belgian type wheat beer, a fruity beer, a top fermentation beer, etc… without having to do anything else than focusing on your own usual beer… CBS makes it possible! These brand makers can be customized on demand. Our product line named « brand final touch » allows to produce « special beers » by adding a brand maker to a normal pale beer just before bottling. All our « final touch » beer brand producers contain exclusively natural aroma compounds (fruits and spices aroma compounds), natural colouring (fruit colours and dark malt extracts) and clouding agents (essential oils emulsions stabilised with vegetal gums). WB-MIX has been set up to produce white beers with taste, flavour and cloudy aspect similar to main commercial Belgian white beers which are refreshing and thirst-quenching. WB-MIX has to be added to a standard base beer with low bitterness (10-12 EBU) as unique requisite to obtain a white beer ( WB-MIX Project). PF-MIX-HOP range of...

TETRASOL is an aqueous solution of purified potassium salts of tetrahydroiso-humulone produced from the alpha-acid fraction of a hop liquid CO2 concentrate extract in an all aqueous process. The product is free of any solvent residues. The benefits of the use of TETRASOL in comparison with traditional hopping are high flexibility in beer bitterness adjusting, improved foam, enhanced cling and light-stability. AVAILABILITY TETRASOL is available in 10% (+/- 0.5%) tetrahydroiso-humulones in aqueous solution ready for direct addition to beer without pre-warming nor dilution. DILUTION If dilution is desired for metering pump requisites for example TETRASOL chould be diluted 10 times. Soft or deionized water equal to nine times the weight of TETRASOL 10 is needed. (Hard water may cause cloudiness). The pH of the soft water is adjusted to 10 to 11 using potassium hydroxide. The 1:9 dilution is prepared by slowly adding the weighed amount of TETRASOL to the stirred soft pH10-11 water (T...

ISOTOTAL is a CO2 extract of Magnum hop (Hallertau) recent crop which has been isomerized in « classical » conditions without any catalyst. These isomerisation conditions are as close as possible to those used during a normal brewing process. After isomerisation, the insoluble fraction is carefully discarded. All the hop isomerized bitter fractions and several aromatic compounds are present in this product allowing to get a bitterness which is identical to the one obtained by classical hopping. This product can be used after fermentation just before final filtration. ISOTOTAL is an ideal way to adjust beer bitterness to the desired value at the end of the process without modifying the quality of this bitterness. The benefits of the use of ISOTOTAL are high flexibility in beer bitterness adjusting, very high yields close to 100%, better beer foam and cling, improving of the perception of hop flavours. AVAILABILITY ISOTOTAL is standardized to 100 000 EBU; the addition of 1 ml of...

TANNOX-BREW is an atomized granulate powder of a high purified high molecular weight gallotannin. Gallotanins or tannic acid are extracted from gallnuts. Tannic acid inhibits malt lipoxygenase activity by 50%, reduces metals by its reducing power, removes metals by its chelating power and blocks radicals forming reactions. Tannic acid reacts very selectively with acid proteins containing SH-groups. Only these sensitive proteins are removed. TANNOX-BREW gives a real improvement on lauter-tun or mash-filter filtration rates and improves beer shelf life as far as clarity, taste and flavour are concerned. PROPERTIES PHYSICAL description: appearance: odour: taste: density: high purified high molecular weight gallotannin light yellow atomized granumate powder weak tea-like flavour neutral to light astringent dry 0.35 – 0.45 g/cm 3 CHEMICAL content: moisture: gallic acid: ash: solubility:pH: heavy metals: Arsenic: Lead: min. 96% tannic acid on dry max. 7% max. 1% max. 0.075% clear in...
