Fermaid K+ ™

In the context of climate change, grape musts exhibit chemical changes with micronutrient imbalances. Managing yeast nutrition become again crucial to address these challenges. As well-known, Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN) significantly impacts alcoholic fermentation, influencing kinetics and wine quality. But other key parameters are vitamins and minerals, vitamins promote yeast growth and stress resilience, while […]

Yeast needs nitrogen, among other things, to grow and ensure a smooth and complete alcoholic fermentation (AF).  If the assimilable nitrogen is less than 140 mg/L, the grape must is considered deficient, and in this case wine yeasts need an addition of external nitrogen. Nitrogen for the yeast comes in different forms What is complex […]

It’s unique. There is nothing else like it! FERMAIDTM  K+ is a blended complex yeast nutrient suitable for use in the alcoholic fermentation of grape must. Developed by the technical oenology group from Lallemand. Propper use of FERMAIDTM  K+ helps compensate must deficiency in nitrogen & micronutrients and drastically reduces the occurrence of sluggish and […]

Wine Yeast Rehydration Proper wine yeast  rehydration is necessary because grape must is a very hostile environment with its low acidity, high sugar and osmotic pressure, and nutrients or micronutrients limitations is a big challenge for any yeast to conduct AF. Quality, fault free wine is related to a successful AF, and that comes with taking good care […]
