Carrageenan is well established in the brewing industry as an important processing aid. Originally, unprocessed seaweed of the species Chondrus crispus (Irish Moss) was used to good effect. As interest in the food industry for high kappa isomer species such as Euchema cottonii increased, so did availability and quality. Today most carrageenan used in brewing is this species. Its role as the most cost effective method of wort clarification is undisputed.

When added to the boiling wort, kappa carrageenan reacts strongly with soluble proteins, notably the proline-rich haze precursor fraction. When the wort is cooled the carrageenan-protein complex becomes unstable and precipitates out of solution. The clear wort that results produces a beer with enhanced processing characteristics.

Add 1/2  tablet per 5 gallons (25 litres) of beer. The tablets are added directly to the wort during the last 15 minutes of the boiling period. For a bulk 100 litre batch, use 1 – 3 tablets.

Benefits: Improved hot break compaction, improved yeast vitality during fermentation, improved beer haze and colloidal stability.

Bitrewort is available in pots of 5

Used as a form of finings mainly in beer. Contains 5 tablets. 

Note: Also known as Irish Moss, Protofloc and Protafloc

Our Free Shipping offer excludes some products and destinations, primarily oversized or overweight items requiring specialist delivery or palletisation. Products impacted are generally identified as such on the product page.

Dispatch & Next-Day Services

Our aim is to send out the same day all orders received by 9am. Sometimes due to a heavy influx of orders (especially over weekends) we may need an extra day to do this. Orders will be dispatched such that you should receive them the next working day by courier (excluding Saturday and Sunday) or by 1st class post (this is not a guarantee, as no UK parcel carrier offers a 100% guarantee on their service). On the rare occasions where we may be let down, or if there is a problem with the order we will aim to notify you.

Delivery Times

In most cases, Delivery to England, Wales, and Lowland Scotland is by a 24 hour, next working day service by DPD. The Scottish Highlands & Islands, Northern Ireland and all other offshore destinations are usually on a 48+ hour courier services due to logistical issues beyond our control. Small items are sent by Royal Mail 1st Class post untracked. These items are usually delivered within 24 hours, but this can vary (anywhere up to 10 working days), and is unfortunately beyond our control.
