Mace powder is made from the dried, aromatic outer covering of the nutmeg seed. Known for its warm, slightly sweet, and delicate flavor, mace is a versatile spice often used in baking, sauces, soups, and savory dishes. It adds depth to curries, stews, and pickles, while also pairing beautifully with desserts such as cakes, pastries, and puddings.

Packed with natural aroma and flavor, our mace powder is finely ground for convenience and freshness, making it easy to use in everyday cooking or gourmet recipes.

With the use of Alcotec 48 turbo yeast (TY) you can decide when you start fermentation whether you want to make moderate amount of alcohol and fast (14% in 2 days), or high levels of alcohol over a little longer period (20% in 5 days). It simply depends on the amount of white sugar (sucrose) you add - either 6kgs per 25L or 8kgs per 25L.

These round wine filter pads are for the gravity fed Ferrari Wine filter unit. Each pad is 22 cm wide. Thickness varies with each model; see table below for more information.

One way you can raise your wines to a higher level of perfection is by employing the use of filtration. You can enhance its appearance, shorten its aging time, lighten its body and colour if so desired, or make the wine more stable, reducing the chance of re-fermentation while in the bottle.

Flush filter pads with plenty of cold water before introduction of wine or beer. This procedure softens the pores, maximizes the available surface area and leads to better filtration and longer pad life. Always keep heavy solids from the bottom of the container out of filter presses.

The rough side of the pad always faces the INLET plates.
