Wine Yeast
We strongly endorse the use of a commercial wine yeast in the fermentation of a grape juice. These wine yeasts have been carefully cultured to accentuate positive fermentation properties such as more efficient sugar-alcohol conversion, low hydrogen sulphide production, compact lees and SO2 tolerance. We recommend the addition of a commercial nutrient to reduce the likelihood of a stuck or sluggish fermentation and to minimize the production of sulphide (from nutrient deficiency). Nutrients should be added prior to the start of fermentation.
