To optimize the use of PMBS, we recommend trials prior to the routine use of the antioxidant. This assures optimum protection and uniform beer quality. PMBS is normally added at 10 – 20 ppm is (0.25 to 0.50 lb/100bbl.; 1-2 g/hl) of beer. Maximum addition depends upon application but should not generally exceed 100ppm.

Application rate: 10-20 ppm (0.25-0.50#/100 bbl)
