Home Brew Ohio 6382a Pectic Enzyme (powder) - 1 lb.

I use it to have an easier time making fruit wines and it breaks everything down quickly. While I dont make fruit wines often, it's great for turning a lot of the extra fruit from the garden into wine around this time of year.

Standard for reducing wine haze.

As expected

Looks like it worked

Worked perfect to take the white pith off of my clementines so I could can them.

Great product! Great price!

I bought this after learning that it's a thing, and I am not disappointed. I make a lot of mead with fruit, which can take a long time to clear, if it ever does. I added just a little bit of this to a batch of apricot mead that had been sitting cloudy for a couple of months. I mixed it into the carboy with the drill stirrer, and just a few days later the mead was perfectly clear! It can also be added when the batch is first started, which is what I'll be doing going forward. I have not noticed any flavors or off-flavors from the pectic enzyme.

My micro professor mentioned that you're not going to get very much juice out of pressed apples without pectinase enzymes to break down the plant matter. After running 4.5 gallons of cran-apples though the juicer & using this in the pulp, & straining, I was left only ~1 gallon of solids to dispose of. I'm very satisfied with that efficiency, given the traditional wisdom that you always need more apples than you think (given, I probably would have been better off with 1/3 more apples in the first place). I was surprised by how thin the must got throughout the process, and as this & the yeast continue to do their thing, I fully expect the resultant product to be easily stainable and have a nice, drinkable viscosity. One thing to note, you're going to want to add more of this to an apple slurry than you would a thin store-bought juice. The concentration of pectin is far higher. The advice on the bag is assuming you're adding it to clear a cloudy drink. I ended up using a few teaspoons of the stuff. I'm not aware of any reason why going a little overboard would be a problem.

Love this for removing the pectin of my orange slices. Make your checuterie board look over the top professional.

Good

Works as its says

Merci
