CHF 4.00

CHF 800.00/kg
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 lukewarm water (around 30-35 °C), let it swell briefly and add it to the must, then fit the airlock. The exact dosage per litre is on the packaging.
