- Improved Clarity: Reduces haze and proteins, leading to a more visually appealing beer.

- Better Flavor Stability: Removing excess proteins can prevent off-flavors and improve the beer's shelf life.
Description
Protafloc Tablets are a widely used fining agent in beer brewing. They are typically made from carrageenan, a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed. Here's a breakdown of what they do and how they are used:
Purpose
Protafloc Tablets aid in the clarification of wort during the brewing process. They help precipitate proteins and other haze-forming particles out of the wort, making it clearer. This results in a cleaner, brighter beer.
How They Work
- Protafloc works by binding to proteins and polyphenols (tannins) that can cause haziness in beer.
- Once bound, these particles form larger clumps that are heavy enough to settle to the bottom of the kettle during the boil or in subsequent stages.
Usage
- When to Add: Protafloc Tablets are added to the boiling wort, typically during the last 10-15 minutes of the boil.
- Dosage: The recommended amount is usually around one tablet per 20-25 liters (5-6.5 gallons) of wort. This can vary, so it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
- Crushing: Some brewers crush the tablet before adding it to ensure even distribution, but this isn't always necessary.
