KERN ECB
Diatomaceous earth is used to filter out all the cloudy substances remaining in the beer. This is a powdery substance that consists mainly of the shells of fossilized diatoms. A very specific amount of this must be added to the kettle for the filtration process. Precisely weighing the amount of diatomaceous earth added guarantees that the clarification process runs smoothly and produces the desired quality.
