FERMOBENT® PORE-TEC is used during fermentation to remove heat unstable proteins as they are formed.

• May eliminate the need for post-fermentation protein stabilization
• Preferred addition timing is mid-fermentation
• Improves the release of CO2 during fermentation
• Highly purified and has extremely low heavy metal content (iron)
• Varietal aromas are preserved compared with traditional post-fermentation bentonite additions
• Helps compact fermentation lees
• Produced using PORE-TECnology resulting in an almost dust-free bentonite
• Can be prepared in room temperature water
• Highly purified sodium-calcium based bentonite

Dosage
Bench trials recommended
Fermenting Juice 50–300 g/hL

Usage
Add FERMOBENT® PORE-TEC slowly to approximately 5 times its weight of room temperature water and allow to swell. Allow a rest period of 4–6 hours. Dispose of supernatant and add remaining bentonite slurry to the must while thoroughly mixing. After fermentation, rack off bentonite and gross lees.

Storage
Dated expiration. Store in a dry, odor-free and well-ventilated environment below 25°C (77°F). Reseal opened packaging immediately
