Joenos Kitzinger Port Wine Pure Culture Yeast, 5 g for 10-50 l

This active pure culture yeast is matched to the port wine style: strong, high-fermenting wines with noticeable residual sweetness. Pure culture yeast means that a defined yeast strain works here instead of wild yeasts, so the fermentation runs cleaner and more predictably.

A 5 g sachet is enough for 10 to 50 litres of batch. To use it, stir the dry yeast into ten times its volume of water (50 ml) at 35–40 °C, let it swell for about 20 minutes, at most 45 minutes, and add it to the must, then fit the airlock. The exact dosage per litre is on the packaging.
