The diatomaceous earth. Perlite can be used as a safer substitute.What mate, the isinglass or diatomaceous earth?

Can we assume that you are now polished up and back on deck at the MM?
So have they actually found a new guy at that place?Nope Vlad me and Mad Monk have parted ways. Currently I am peacefully brewing at a brewery in Margaret River untill I can hand the reins over to the new guy. I will probably pick up a little bit of brewing here and there on a Gun for hire basis. I am moving to Albany as soon as I find the right house to live in from there I will do something but what that is is still a year or so away as I need to take things easy for a while.
It will be interesting to see how their beer goes when that happens, are you getting any "artistic license" at the moment?A month or so back starts in May some time.
It will clear (...) chill haze really well
Isinglass Here is still the best naturally derived clarifying agent around.It will clear yeast and chill haze really well.Gelitine is about 2/3 less affective. PVPP is a vinyls product ,And IMHO less effective, so were do you go? Plastic or a natural agent. Some yeast will drop out readily if used properly if you pick the right one.I have used Isinglass many times and it is my choice if you want a clear beer.There are some new products coming on the market from Germany which will clarify and meet the German purity laws.It can be used in the kettle and the fermenter.Stay tuned.

Interesting :unsure: ....
I thought that Isinglass was positively charged & worked by attracting & clumping together the negative yeast particles, whereas protein haze is positively charged & hence Isinglass had zero effect on it? PVPP & Isinglass from my understanding, are 2 different fining agents with 2 totally different applications.
I'd be interested in a link to the literature that substantiates your claims?

Excuse the dumb question, but if protein-based fining agents can clear haze, why do people talk of protein haze?
I understood that excess proteins were undesirable. :unsure:
