• restricts the fading of colour of red grape musts (reduces the colour absorption of the yeast during fermentation).
• selected over years for red wines with a typical character
• very rapid fermentation start
• little formation of unwanted fermentation side products (such as sO2, H2O, acetaldehyde, pyruvic acid, volatiles and esters
• produces up to 16 vol % alcohol.

• LALVIN
• FERMAID¨ YEAST NUTRIENT

• FERMAID¨is a nutrient mixture prepared to supplement nutrients in grape juice to ensure a rapid onset of yeast growth and completion of fermentation.
• Fermaid contains autolysed yeast which have been grown to contain high concentrations of amino acids mixed with di-ammonium phosphate, magnesium sulphate, thiamine, folic acid, niacin and calcium pantothenate.

• Addition of Fermaid to yeast fermentations can assist in avoiding slow or stuck fermentations.
• Developed for commercial application,it is also particularly valuable for the balanced fermentation of fruit based winemaking recipes in the home winemaking field. (most home winemaking books recommend di ammonium phosphate as a yeast nutrient....Fermaid contributes a more complex balanced blend of essential acids and enzymes)
• When used as directed Fermaid will not contribute any aroma or flavour to the wine.
