Finings & Clearing
Finings have been used for many years to help clear wine and clear beer after the fermentation is complete. Wine and beer will clear naturally, but this can take a long time, so finings are use to speed up the clearing process.
Traditional finings, called isinglass, are made from the swim bladder of the cod fish.
More modern finings (Chitosan and Kieselsol) are made from either gelatine (from animal bones) or crustaceans (sea creatures).
More recently, finings are now available that are derived from fungi, which means they are vegan friendly finings. Up until recently, finings made from fungi have been very expensive, but new techniques have now made vegan finings as good as and similarly priced to more traditional clearing agents.
If you want a crystal clear white wine or a beer that you can see through, we have a range of finings to clear your beer and clear your wine for sale here that can be used to add the finishing touches to your homebrew.
Finings work due to the process of attraction. The sediment floating around in your alcohol is positively charged. The finings is negatively charged. When you add the finings to your alcohol, all the positive and negative particles attract each other, form large clumps that become to heavy to stay suspended in the alcohol and so sink to the bottom, clearing your beer or wine in the process.
If you have added finings and your wine or beer is not clearing, read our blog on what might be causing your beer to be hazy and what might be causing your wine to be hazy.

You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.
Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.
I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
A very good kit supplied by a very reliable supplier
, it's a great favourite of all of my friends when we have a get together.
I found this lager to be a light and refreshing lager with a pale colour. It doesn't have the strong taste or hoppiness of a pils type beer. It is very, very easy to drink. I made it with 1.5Kg of sugar and this resulted in an ABV of approximately 5.2%. One of my favourites!
This really suited me. If you like American IPA, this is a cracker. Ordered more

My wine kit arrived quickly and I set to work straight away. The instructions were very easy to follow. I've made a lot of wine before but don't think I would have had any problem even as a beginner. My wine was completely fermented within one week and it could have been ready to drink but I decided not to use the fining gels but rather to let it clear naturally. It took just over one week for this to happen. The wine has a pleasant taste and very light coloured appearance. It was ready to drink right away. It tasted like grape wine. It's been so long since I drank commercial wine I can't comment on how it compares to a commercial Chardonnay. The taste was a little weak for me so in future I would add less water. I've had commercial wines that tasted much worse than this. It had a smooth taste without any rough edge. I would recommend this kit and would be happy to use it again.
As usual, perfect service, great price and swift delivery. Never had a bad deal or had any reason to find fault. Thanks Guys!
Brilliant product , my wife loves it. Easy to make and clears like gin. Recommended
quick delivery and easy to make
Unfortunately the first order went to someone in another local village never to be seen by me.
The company send me another.
No problem using these just use a hairdryer to shrink onto the bottle.
Great to use and label our home made wine.
