Go-Ferm Protect | Lallemand | Yeast Rehydration Nutrient

Go-Ferm Protect is a natural yeast rehydration nutrient developed by Lallemand to enhance yeast viability and vitality during fermentation. By incorporating sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals into the rehydration water, it strengthens yeast cell membranes, making them more resilient to fermentation stresses such as high sugar concentrations, ethanol toxicity, and temperature fluctuations. This process, known as NATSTEP (NATural STErol Protection), ensures a healthier yeast population, reducing the risk of sluggish or stuck fermentations.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Yeast Health: Provides essential micronutrients and survival factors during rehydration, promoting robust fermentations.
• Stress Resistance: Improves yeast tolerance to challenging conditions, including high Brix levels and nutrient-deficient musts.
• Improved Fermentation Kinetics: Leads to faster onset and cleaner completion of fermentation, minimizing the production of undesirable compounds.

Recommended Usage:

• Dosage: Use at a rate of 1.25 grams of Go-Ferm Protect per 1 gram of yeast. For example, for 10 grams of yeast, use 12.5 grams of Go-Ferm Protect.
• Preparation: Dissolve Go-Ferm Protect in 20 times its weight of clean, 43°C (110°F) water before adding the yeast. This ensures optimal nutrient uptake during rehydration.
  

Ideal For:

• High Brix Musts (>25°)
• Over-clarified Juices
• Stuck or Sluggish Fermentations
• Poor Fruit Quality (e.g., Botrytis-infected grapes)

Packaging:

• Available in 100g quantities, perfect for homebrewers and small-batch fermentations.

Incorporating Go-Ferm Protect into your yeast rehydration protocol ensures a healthy fermentation process, leading to higher-quality wines and beers with fewer off-flavors.
