Tips to avoid stuck ferments!

We're seeing some slow ferments out there so here are some tips to keep those fermentation going smoothly!

- Make sure you rehydrate your yeast with DYNASTART,a yeast preparation for use in re-hydration water to enhance wine quality and assure a   strong fermentation finish. The essential elements provided by DYNASTARTwill guarantee membrane fluidity and its good resistance to     alcohol.

- Feed your yeast well throughout fermentation with NUTRISTART / NUTRISTART ORG.

  • NUTRISTARTis an all-round yeast activator combining growth and survival factors and promoting yeast multiplication. Contains DAP and can be used on all varietals at 300ppm.
  • NUTRISTART ORG is a 100% organic nutrient, naturally rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements that promotes cellular multiplication. Can be used on all varietals at 300ppm.

- As soon as your fermentation starts slowing down, using BIOACTIV will help detoxify the must, provide survival factors and enable    fermentation to complete. BIOACTIV does not provide assimilable nitrogen, recommended dosage is 200-400ppm.
