Abstract

Combinations of silica gel and magnesium silicate have been found to be effective agents to prevent the formation of haze in beer. Said haze, often called chill haze, is prevented by contacting the ruh beer with the combination to remove some or all of the components that react to form the haze. The spent combination is removed from the beer in the usual manner.
