AMS is especially used in the brewing industry as a liquor treatment to provide optimum pH levels throughout the whole brewing process and improve extract yield, wort runoff and the clarity and stability of the finished beer.
AMS is an acid blend formulated to effectively reduce water alkalinity whilst adding useful chloride and sulphate ions. Use of AMS will also help to prevent scale build up in your water tanks. TOP TIP! Can be used to create nearly any style when used in conjunction with the correct salt blends.
Packaging: 25 kg in 25L plastic bidon
Application and Rates of Use AMS can be added to either the cold or hot liquor tank and should be thoroughly mixed. Time should be allowed to release the carbon dioxide produced by the neutralisation of excess carbonate. Please take into account any residual treated liquor when topping up your tank as this will affect alkalinity levels. Addition of AMS to the cold liquor tank has the added benefit of preventing scale build up on the heating elements.
AMS can also be used in pH trimming of wort and finished products (such as hard seltzer) to reduce pH. Addition rates for AMS are dependent on the levels of alkalinity and other important ions present in your untreated liquor as well as target profile / beer style being produced. 5mL AMS per hL of water reduces the alkalinity by 8.4 mg/L (ppm) and increases chloride levels by 3.1 mg/L (ppm) and sulphate levels by 3.9 mg/L (ppm).
When used in pH trimming, a lab scale trial should be carried out before addition.
