Go-Ferm Sterol Flash Yeast Rehydration Nutrient

GO-FERM STEROL FLASH™ is a revolutionary new yeast rehydration nutrient that can be used with cool water, significantly shortening the rehydration process. Rehydrated yeast can be directly added to juice/must after 15 minutes.

• Has all the benefits of GO-FERM PROTECT EVOLUTION™
• Allows yeast to be rehydrated in cool water (minimum 15°C/60°F) without any loss of viability or vitality
• Eliminates time-consuming acclimatization steps
• Requires 50% less water than other rehydration nutrients
• Non-clumping, instantly disperses in cool water
• Derived from autolyzed yeast, provides optimized levels of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and extremely high levels of survival factors including sterols and unsaturated fatty acids

Frequently used in: All juices and musts, but especially in aromatic varietals, highly clarified juices,barrel fermentations, high °Brix or cold-soak musts, or situations where reliable hot water is unavailable

When to add: During yeast rehydration

Provides: Vitamins, minerals, very high levels of sterols

Dosage: 1 packet per 6 gallons of must (2 cases of grapes or 6 gallons of juice)

YAN contribution: Insignificant

Usage: Mix GO-FERM STEROL FLASH in 10 times its weight of clean 15°C (60°F) water. Add active dried yeast, stir gently and allow the yeast to rehydrate for 15 minutes. Gently stir again, then add to the tank or barrel and mix to homogenize. There is no need to acclimate the rehydrated yeast to the juice/must temperature.

For best results we also recommend the addition of Fermaid-O nutrient to must after 1/3 of fermentation is complete to reduce the risk of a sluggish or stuck fermentation.
