Sluggish or stuck ferments remain a major concern for winemakers during any vintage. Ensuring good hydration of budding yeasts and adequate nutrition of fermenting yeast are some of the most critical steps in ensuring a healthy fermentation. In combination with our unique protease enzyme and an appropriate supply of micro and macro nutrients including nitrogen and carbon sources, vitamins and inorganic minerals provided at the right growth stage can thus ensure strong yeast growth and complete fermentations.
Blended Yeast Nutrient
A unique blend of high efficiency protease combined with yeast nutrients to help ferments to continue to completion. The protease breaks down the complex proteins into amino acids and peptides, thereby providing multiple sources of YAN for the growing yeast to assimilate and use during the later alcohol stressed stages of fermentation when the capacity to ingest external nutrients is low.

Hydration Yeast Nutrient
Designed for budding yeast, this blend of inactivated yeast has been specifically formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of the growing yeast. While the yeast sacs and hulls provide a rich source of vitamins and amino acids, glutathione protects the young yeast cells from osmotic shock. Together, this results in a healthy yeast hydration and a rapid increase in yeast numbers.

DAP Free Yeast Nutrient
Is a unique DAP free blend of yeast nutrients and a highly efficient protease enzyme designed to promote optimal yeast growth during fermentation. The protease assists the yeast to ensure nutrient availabilty at critical stages in the fermentation.

Cider Yeast Nutrient
Is a blend of vitamins and other yeast nutrients formulated to increase yeast activity. A deficiency of vitamins can limit yeast growth rates and cell numbers thereby restricting the rate of the alcoholic fermentation and lead to sluggish or stuck fermentations. KV Mix can shorten the lag phase which can help reduce off-flavours that are due to bacteriological contamination.
