Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a clarifier and a stabilizer?
A clarifier removes haze and particles to make beer or wine clear, while a stabilizer prevents unwanted fermentation or flavor changes after brewing.
When should I add finings or clarifiers?
Most finings are added near the end of the boil (like Irish Moss or Whirlfloc) or during secondary fermentation (like Super Kleer) for the best results.
Do I need a stabilizer for every batch?
Stabilizers are essential when backsweetening mead or wine to prevent renewed fermentation, but they’re optional for most beers.
What’s the best nutrient for mead fermentation?
Fermaid O or Go-Ferm are great choices for ensuring a clean, strong mead fermentation.
Can I combine multiple clarifiers?
It’s best to use one clarifier at a time, but different types can be used in separate stages—such as Whirlfloc in the boil and Super Kleer during secondary fermentation.
