ALDC - for those about to hop...
Brewers and beer lovers know dry hopping creates a world of exciting aromas, but one compound that often goes unnoticed is Vicinal Diketones (VDKs), such as diacetyl, which can add unwanted buttery notes to beer. Managing VDKs is crucial for a clean, consistent flavor, especially in hop-forward styles. While sensory tests and GC analysis can help monitor VDK levels, many brewers now use the enzyme ALDC to reduce diacetyl formation and speed up maturation. Staying vigilant about VDKs, “hop creep,” and hygiene helps ensure your next brew is as flawless as it is flavorful. For all your hopping needs, our Technical Sales Team is here to help.

Principles of kettle finings, and helpful hints to maximize benefits
Our kettle fining products, made from kappa-carrageenan derived from seaweed, are added to wort during the boil to enhance protein removal as it cools. These natural processing aids help produce brighter wort, reduce filtration time, and boost fermentation while increasing colloidal stability and compacting sediment, all without affecting head retention or requiring label declaration. Available as tablets and granules, our finings are 5–10% more efficient than competitors and must be added at the right time and dose for optimum results.
