Results

Recommended Rate

75 g/hL

30-90 g/hL trial band

Lot Addition

2,823 g

37.9 hL treated

Bench Bottle

0.559 g

750 mL bottle dose

Heat Stability Gap

26.0 NTU

Current rise minus target rise

Heat instability of 28.0 NTU points to a starting bentonite dose around 75 g/hL, or 2,823 g across the lot.

Warnings
Bench trials are mandatory before any bulk bentonite addition.
Hydration method and contact time change performance. Confirm the cellar SOP before scaling.
