Go-Ferm® is certified organic by OMRI. It is a natural yeast rehydration nutrient containing a balance of micronutrients. It was developed to enhance kinetics and thereby potentially avoid problem fermentations. Suspend Go-Ferm in the rehydration water before adding the selected active dried yeast culture. The yeast soak up the valuable bio-available micronutrients as they rehydrate. Infusing yeast with these essential nutrients arms them against ethanol toxicity and optimizes nutrient availability to the rehydrating yeast culture. The result is fermentations that finish stronger.
GO-FERM® is the original yeast rehydration nutrient. It enhances fermentation kinetics and helps prevents fermentation problems.
Frequently used in: Must <24 °Brix, whites, rosés, reds
When to add: During yeast rehydration
Provides: Vitamins and minerals
YAN contribution: Insignificant
Recommended Dosage: 30 g/hL (2.5 lb/1000 gal) in smaller quantities use 1 part yeast to 1.25 parts GO-FERM.
Usage: Mix GO-FERM in 20 times its weight of clean 43°C (110°F) water. Then, follow the applicable rehydration protocol or restart procedure
Storage: Dated expiration. Store in a cool and dry environment at 18°C(65°F). Once opened, keep tightly sealed and dry.
Please Note:
- This recommendation is based on a yeast inoculum of 2 lb/1000 gal (25 g/hL). If using more or less yeast, respect a ratio of 1 part yeast to 1.25 parts GO-FERM.
- Due to the unique nature of GO-FERM, it will not go into solution completely. This is due to the fatty acid and sterol content and is to be expected.
