Abstract

A combination of two distinct amorphous silicas, one having a moisture content of 30% or greater and one having a moisture content of below 30%, and each further characterized by particular properties of surface area, pore volume, pore size and particle size, is used to chillproof beer (as well as other fermented or unfermented beverages) by removing chill haze precursors therefrom.
