YEAST REHYDRATION AND FERMENTATION NUTRITION GUIDELINES
Yeast Rehydration Nutrient	GO-FERM Sterol FlashTM	Use 30 g/100 L	CALCULATIONS • Determine how much juice is to be fermented (eg. 400 L) • Determine how much yeast is needed (eg. yeast dose 25 g/100 L = 100 g yeast for 400 L) • Determine how much GO-FERM Sterol FlashTM is needed (eg. GSF dose 30 g/100 L = 120 g of GSF for 400 L) • Determine how much water is needed to rehydrate the yeast (20 x weight of yeast = 2000 mL (2 L) for 400 L of water) INSTRUCTIONS FOR REHYDRATION OF YEAST • Add chlorine free water to a bucket. Ensure water is more than 15° C. • Add GO-FERM Sterol FlashTM and mix • Add yeast and leave for 20 minutes to rehydrate • Add this yeast culture to the wine.
Fermentation Nutrient	Fermaid ATTM	2 x 20 g/100 L adds	First addition at the start of fermentation. Second addition 1/3rd through fermentation.
Fermentation Nutrient	Fermaid OTM	2 x 20 g/100 L adds	First addition at the start of fermentation. Second addition 1/3rd through fermentation.
Difficult conditions	ResKueTM	Cell Walls Add 1 x 300 ppm	To be used if the fermentation rate starts to slow down. ResKue will detoxify the ferment, allowing the yeast to finish fermenting.
