I think that in the hobby of Homebrewing there is a substance
called isenglass that is used as a clarifying additive. I
suppose it is simply a powdered form of some sort of plastic.
If I remember correctly, I think it picks up stray protein
molecules and then sinks down to the bottom to be removed when
the beer is racked (it has been a few years since I have
brewed....) LBC content? uh....YEAH...I GOT IT! People who
work on LBCs often need a beer when they come in from the
garage! Well.... they do if they have a garage.
