Description - Dried yeast Oenoferm Terra F3 - 500 g

Oenoferm® Terra has spontaneous-fermentation-like characteristics, yet the fermentation course is reliable and produces authentic wines with a pronounced terroir profile. The selected wild yeast strain Oenoferm® Terra ferments white as well as red grape musts, respectively grape mashes in a neutral and safe way. The grape-derived primary aromas are reliably preserved and are not superposed/suppressed by undesirable fermentation by-products, which could affect the finesse of such wines.

The yeast supports the terroir characteristics which are influenced by the site, the soil conditions, the micro climate, the topography and the vineyard cultivation and management and last not least, by the individual ways and methods of the winemaker.

Fermentation starts very quickly and fermentation runs smoothly. The yeast ferments out completely.

  • fermentation temperatures:
    • white must 17-22 °C
    • red grape mash/must: 22-28°C
  • alcohol tolerance: 14 % ABV
  • dosage: 20-30 g/100 litres at 37-42°C
  • shelf life: vacuum packed; once opened use within 2 to 3 days

How to add yeast?
The order in which you add ingredients is important for the end result of a wine. One ingredient is capable of influencing the effect of another, even in a negative way. Yeasts are always added AFTER the nutrients! Dried yeast needs to be rehydrated first: dissolve the required quantity of yeast in 10 times its weight of lukewarm water (30-35 °C) or preferably 50 % diluted juice. So, e.g. 7 g of yeast in 70 ml of water and/or 100 g yeast in 1 litre of water/juice mixture. Stir gently. Let it rehydrate for 15 minutes (some foaming might occur) and stir gently again. Now add the yeast solution to your must while stirring/ pumping firmly. Ensure that the temperature difference between the yeast solution and the must does not exceed 7 to 10 °C. When the difference in temperature is larger, cool the yeast suspension further down before adding. NEVER scrimp on yeast! A healthy yeast colony is necessary for a consistent fermentation of your must. Keep your dried yeast in a refrigerator.
