North Mountain Supply Pectic Enzyme, 2oz Jar

As a passionate home winemaker, I've come to appreciate the importance of every ingredient in the winemaking process. The North Mountain Supply Pectic Enzyme has become an indispensable tool in my arsenal, unlocking the full flavor potential of my fruit wines with remarkable efficiency. Another standout feature is this pectic enzyme's versatility. This enzyme consistently delivers outstanding results, whether I'm making wine from grapes, berries, or other fruits. It works seamlessly with a wide range of fruits, ensuring that each batch of wine achieves the desired clarity and visual appeal. Undoubtedly, the North Mountain Supply Pectic Enzyme is a winemaker's secret weapon. Its ability to break down pectin molecules enhances clarity and significantly improves flavor extraction and mouthfeel. The result? Wines that are not just clearer but also smoother, more aromatic, and well-rounded.

Product as expected - well packaged, sealed and not clumped. I use this when fermenting my homemade fruit wines and mead with fruit. Those wines are mainly blueberry based since I have several dozen blueberry bushes growing in my yard. The main purpose of this product is to break down the pectin that is in the blueberries so that fine particles can drop out and allow the wine to clear / clarify. For those who are just starting with home wine making with fruit - this is the product you want to purchase. Things like isinglass (if you are coming from a home brew / beer background) will not clarify wine made from fruit by itself. The pectin has to be neutralized and that is what this product does.

Nice quality and arrived fast

This actually worked on my oranges! I canned mandarin oranges for the first time. I was adamant about removing the pith and strings before I canned them since I knew it may be the only time I can oranges due to the amount of work it would be to remove the pith. To my surprise it really did work! I am happy to say that I will can oranges again!

Used as directed. For mandrine oranges. Soaked overnight in refrigerator. Not much if any pith came off. Maybe too cold. Very gently warmed the water up to just room temperature very carefully. and put back in kettle and added another tsp. To the mix stirring occasionally on counter this time. 4.5 hours later it was finally working at double dose. I rinsed a few times very well , and picked out strings of pith. They looked beautiful after that but it’s possible I didn’t do it correctly.

Real simple to use. I had to use a double dose since I was not able to get any before my current brew but one day in and this pectic enzyme is already helping clear the gunk stuck in suspension. For how cheap it is, I will be getting a good amount of uses out of it. I will be purchasing again once I run out.

Nice and fast shipping

Bought a whole range of North Mountain Supply for my first crack at wild grape wine. Concord grapes are very high in pectin which needs to be removed via the enzymes to ensure proper tasting wine. So this was nessessary Love that the product to gallon suggestion is right on the label, super easy to use. Can't wait to taste my wine in a few months.
