Fermoplus DAP Free
Complex yeast nutrient free of DAP
Ideal Use: To keep higher alcohols and alcohol sensation low. For Organic wines.
Fermoplus DAP Free is a nutrient, suitable for organic wines, based on pure autolyzed yeast. This is
not just heated live yeast that has been partially broken down, like products
of this kind that have been seen in the past, but the pure extract coming from
the autolysis of specific strains of yeast selected for their high content in
amino acids, vitamins and Nitrogen. Autolyzed
yeast provides all the nutritional elements that are needed in fermentation.
Yeast extracts naturally provide YAN to the fermentation, however, if needed,
winemakers may integrate this with additional DAP to complement the amount of amino Nitrogen available to the yeast. Also, toward the end of the fermentation it helps to minimize formation of
fusel alcohols which may cause off flavors, sometimes described as “hot,” or
“solvent-like.”
Utilization: Dissolve
in must or wine and add to the tank. It is preferred to add Fermoplus DAP Free
in three steps but it is most important at the beginning of the fermentation.
Dosage: Standard addition is 25-40 grams/Hl (2-3 pounds/1,000 Gallons). 12g/hL of Fermoplus DAP Free provides 9 ppm of YAN
Shelf life and storage: Fermoplus DAP Free is stable at room temperature for at least two years.
Packaging: 5kg bags
