In order to gain a desirable fining quality for a particular beer type, two or more kinds of '''isinglass''' may be blended. To illustrate this more precisely, ''Polynemus'' '''isinglass''' provides a fining that settles densely, whereas ''Silurus'' '''isinglass''', from the great catfish family (Siluridae) in South America, gives a more flocculant fining but which settles less densely and consequently is more easily disturbed.}} |
