Brew gluten-reduced beer with Clarity Ferm and our Fresh Wort Kit

Brewing great beer at home has never been easier than with Fresh Wort Kit. For many, this is also a very practical entry into gluten-reduced beer brewing.

By combining our Fresh Wort Kit with WLE4000 Clarity Ferm (10 ml), you can brew beer with great taste, fine balance, and high drinkability – without having to go through a full brew day. Clarity Ferm is added simultaneously with the yeast to 20–25 liters of wort. The product also counteracts chill haze and can reduce gluten content to below the reference values for what is considered gluten-free.

For homebrewers, this provides a simple process without having to compromise on quality. Our 20L Fresh Wort Kits are made from real, pre-brewed wort, professionally produced and ready for fermentation. This means you can spend less time on the actual brewing and more time on good fermentation and a successful end result.

What is WLE4000 Clarity Ferm?

Clarity Ferm is a liquid fining agent added at the start of fermentation. In practice, this means you add it to the fermentation vessel at the same time you pitch the yeast.

The product is popular because it can both:

• contribute to clearer beer

• reduce the gluten content in beer brewed with barley and wheat

One bottle is intended for 20–25 liters of wort, which pairs very well with the standard format of our Fresh Wort Kits.

For many homebrewers, this is an easy place to start if they want to brew gluten-reduced beer. You don't need to change the brewing process or use special ingredients – you can start with a style you already like and combine it with Clarity Ferm.

Why Clarity Ferm pairs well with Fresh Wort Kit

Fresh Wort Kit makes brewing easier because the wort is already brewed and ready to use. In practice, you only need to:

• transfer the wort to the fermenter

• add yeast

• let fermentation do the rest

When the brew wort is already in place, it also becomes easier to use Clarity Ferm correctly. The process becomes more straightforward, with fewer potential sources of error and a simpler starting point if the goal is to brew gluten-reduced beer at home.

Can you make gluten-free beer this way?

The most precise way to put it is that Clarity Ferm reduces the gluten content in the beer. The product can bring the gluten content down to below the reference values for what is considered gluten-free.

At the same time, it is important to be clear in how homebrews are described. The final product is not normally lab-tested unless it is sent for analysis. Therefore, it is safest to refer to the result as gluten-reduced beer, even if many brews fall within gluten-free reference values.

How to use Clarity Ferm in our Fresh Wort Kits

1. Sanitize all equipment

Good hygiene is crucial in homebrewing. Ensure that the fermenter, airlock, funnel, and other equipment that comes into contact with the wort are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

2. Transfer the wort to the fermenter

Fresh Wort Kits are designed to be easy to use. The wort is pre-brewed and ready for fermentation – you just need to pour it into the fermenter.

3. Add Clarity Ferm

Add one bottle of Clarity Ferm at the same time you pitch the yeast. It is during fermentation that the product does its work, both for clarity and reduction of gluten proteins.

4. Ferment as normal

Let the beer ferment according to the recommendations for the specific kit. Many of our Project Brew kits are designed for simple and stable home fermentation.

5. Bottle or keg

Once fermentation is complete and the beer has had time to mature, you can bottle or keg as usual.
