WILMINGTON, Del., May 2, 2022 - Ashland is featuring a recently launched innovation, Polyclar™ brewbrite granules, the newest addition to the company's line of Polyclar™ beverage stabilizers at the Craft Brewers Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Polyclar™ brewbrite granules are easier to use because they do not need to be pre-hydrated and can be added directly to the kettle. In addition, the innovative product has a low dust content. It is easier to handle and is available in a smaller boxed format.

With over 50 years of experience providing wort clarifiers and beer stabilizers to the brewing industry, Ashland's Polyclar™ stabilizers are the leading brand in clarification and stabilization technology for beer. Different grades within the company's extensive portfolio are designed for single use or to be recoverable by filtration. In addition, various grades can be used at different stages of the brewing process. Use of Polyclar™ stabilizers reduces chill haze and permanent haze resulting in a better beer product.
