Don't want to resurrect a lengthy thread I started in the Spring, which didn't really resolve anything (I had suspected it was a calcium issue,) but.... Went back to using Brewtan B, and, lo and behold, all those beers have again had an intractable haze. (My haze troubles had vanished when I had dropped the BTB.) This weekend I'm going to do the identical brew to last, but without BTB, to see what happens.
Meanwhile I have a new suspicion I had almost come around to in that earlier thread:
Brewtan A, which is promoted for fixing a permanent yeast and colloidal haze in NEIPA and wheat beers, is described by the manufacturer as a "medium to high molecular weight" form of gallotannin. Brewtan B, promoted as a preventative of such hazes, is described as a "high molecular weight" form.
So, QUESTION: Does anybody know if it is possible for Brewtan B to degrade to a lower molecular weight form in (improper?) storage, becoming more like Brewtan A, possibly leading to the experience I've had with it? Could my source simply be no good?
