Apex Cultures® AntiOx PRO is a brewhouse antioxidant formulated for mash-stage application to reduce oxidation risk at its source. By targeting and inhibiting lipoxygenase (LOX) activity during mashing, AntiOx PRO helps limit aldehyde formation and other oxidative reactions that can negatively impact beer flavor stability. Its synergistic formulation of potassium metabisulfite (1 g/hL yields approximately 2.6 mg/L free SO₂), ascorbic acid, and gall tannin provides early-stage antioxidant protection when it matters most. Designed for instant solubility and direct mash addition at 5-10 g/hL (optimal temperature 100-107°F / 38-42°C), AntiOx PRO integrates seamlessly into standard brewhouse operations.
By reducing oxidation from mash to package, AntiOx PRO helps preserve freshness, maintain aromatic expression, and extend shelf life beyond what post-packaging antioxidants alone can achieve. Working in synergy with traditional stabilization programs, it supports long-term flavor and colloidal stability while protecting brand integrity in distribution. The result is brighter flavor retention, improved consistency across batches, and greater confidence that the beer reaching consumers reflects the brewer's original intent.
1 KG
Potassium metabisulfite (1 g/hL creates about 2.6 mg/L of free SO2), ascorbic acid, gall tannin.
Reduces oxidation at the source by inhibiting LOX activity in the mash, limiting aldehyde formation and other oxidative reactions in the wort.
Protects beer freshness and aroma from mash to package, delivering longer-lasting flavor stability and more persistent aromatic expression than post packaging antioxidants alone.
Extends shelf life and maintains colloidal stability by working synergistically with traditional stabilizers to preserve beer quality over time.
To effectively target potential oxidation add 5-10 g/hL during the mash after the grist and water have been fully mixed.
Optimal Temperature: 100-107°F (38-42°C)
Store in cool dry place away from heat
