Hey now!
I just bought some biofine clear from Northern Brewer. It comes in a small glass bottle with an eye dropper for dosing. I immediately noticed that the product itself has a sandy sludgy consistency, and is separated from the liquid, which I'm assuming is water. Northern brewer doesn't seem to have any detailed documentation, just the generic dosing recommendations.
My question is about dosing...
It calls for 1/4 to 2 tbsp per 5 gallons. Is that 1/4 tbsp of the sludge, or the sludge suspended in the water that comes in the bottle? I shook it up for a few minutes, but couldn't get all of it into solution, so I just did the best I could with it.
How should one use this product? Should I shake it all up, and take an eye dropper full of whatever I can get? sometimes the eyedropper clogs up with the solid portion of the product, sometimes I just get water.
also, can I replace the water in the bottle as it gets used?
Does it need to be refrigerated like regular biofine? I doubt it since its silicon based but can't hurt to ask.
thanks
John.
