Correct Yeast Preparation – Step by Step
1. Dissolve the Go-Ferm product in 40–43 °C water
2. Add Lalvin MSB Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc yeast, 25 g per 100 l at 35–40 °C and wait 20 minutes
3. Add half of the total amount of Fermaid O or Fermaid K at the beginning of fermentation
4. Adjust the solution to the must - note max. 10 °C difference before addition to the total volume
5. Add to demijohn/ fermentation bucket/ tank within max. 30 minutes
6. Add the remaining Fermaid O or Fermaid K when the sugar content has dropped by approx. 1/3
Explanation – what is the difference between yeast starter and yeast nutrient
Yeast starter (GoFerm series) is used at startup to activate and protect the yeast.
Yeast nutrient (Fermaid series) is added in 2 stages: at the start of fermentation and when approx. 1/3 of the sugar has fermented.
Choice of GoFerm
GoFerm is standard for most fermentations
Go-Ferm Protect Evolution is used when fermentation is more demanding
Go-Ferm Sterol Flash is the fastest and most advanced solution for modern wine and cider production
Choice of Fermaid
Fermaid O is a 100% organic nutrient source without added inorganic salts (DAP)
Fermaid K is used when the must requires extra nutrients for a safe and stable fermentation
