MAXIMIZING QUALITY

When fermenting high sugar content grapes, yeast nutrition is crucial. It is necessary to provide a good source of

nitrogen and survival factors in order to avoid the production of undesirable compounds such as acetic acid,

acetaldehyde, H2S etc. Hence, it is advisable to provide TOP 15 with Nutriferm Energy at inoculation; add more

nitrogen with Nutriferm Special after 12-24 hours; then, add Nutriferm Advance at 1/3 sugar depletion.

DOSAGE

Fermentation of sparkling wine in pressure tank: 10-20 g/hL (0.8 – 1.67 lb/1000 gal)

Primary fermentation: 20-40 g/hL (1.67 - 3.3 lb/1000 gal)

The highest dosages are recommended in case of rotten grapes, high sugar content and difficult microbiological

conditions.

Stuck fermentation: 40 g/hL (3.3. lb/1000 gal)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Suspend dry yeast in 10 times its weight in clean, warm (35-38°C or 95-100°F) water. Stir gently.

Let suspension stand for 20 minutes, then stir gently again.

Add suspension to juice when beginning to fill fermentation tank. The difference in temperature between yeast

suspension and juice should not exceed 10°C (18°F).

Homogenize by pumping over or mixing inoculated juice.

Working to the above-mentioned times and methods ensures maximum activity of re-hydrated yeast.
