Go-Ferm Protect - 100 g AD343A
Go-Ferm Protect is a new formulation of our AD342 - Go-Ferm
Go-Ferm Protect is a natural yeast nutrient that is added to the yeast hydration water before adding your selected yeast strain. Its
complex formula provides your yeast with the proper sterols, unsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients needed to begin fermentation in
optimal shape. The great thing about Go-Ferm Protect is that the proper nutrients and vitamins are introduced BEFORE the yeast is
added to the must. This way 100% of the nutrients are available to your selected yeast strain and won't be stolen away by any
indigenous yeast or bacteria that may be present in the must before your yeast can become established.
New Advanced Formula!
Go-Ferm Protect was created as a result of a multi-year study of problem fermentations by Lallemand and the National Agricultural
Research Institute (INRA) in France. During this period, they looked at the adverse effects on the yeast from overripe fruit (>28 Brix),
low nutrient levels, overclarification of the juice and poor fruit quality (Botrytis, rot, high bacteria count, insecticide and fungicide
residue). Their research showed that musts deficient in sterols and unsaturated fatty acids made yeast more susceptible to ethanol
toxicity (high alcohol), osmotic shock (high sugar), temperature and others stress factors. In response to this data they created the
NATSTEP (NATural STErol Protection) process that incorporated sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamins and minerals into an
advance yeast hydration nutrient: Go-Ferm Protect.
Go-Ferm Protect provides a combination of protective and nutritional benefits that ensure your yeast begins your fermentation in peak
form! The best part is that if your fruit is in great shape then Go-Ferm Protect will simply help your yeast out that much more!
Go-Ferm Protect does not contain any DAP, as DAP is harmful to the yeast during the rehydration process. GO-Ferm is usually used in
conjunction with our Fermaid K yeast nutrient; where Go-Ferm
Protect is used at yeast hydration then Fermaid K is added at the first signs of fermentation and again after 1/3 sugar depletion.
To Use
Use at a rate of 1.25 g Go-Ferm Protect per 1 g of yeast. This package is meant to accompany one of our 80 g packages of yeast.
