Weighing diatomaceous earth for beer clarification

During beer filtration, all yeast cells and cloudy substances remaining in the beer that are not desired in the finished beer must be filtered out. Since a filter is not able to filter out 100% of all the particles contained in the beer, breweries usually use filter aids,This includes, among other things, diatomaceous earth, a powdery substance that mainly consists of the shells of fossil diatoms (diatoms). These ensure that the finest particles are bound and filtered out by the filter,In order for the filtration process to proceed according to rules, a very specific amount must be introduced into the boiler. This amount is precisely weighed using an industrial scale
