Go-Ferm Sterol Flash - Yeast Rehydration Nutrient - Works in Cool Water - 20 g

GO-FERM STEROL FLASH™ is a revolutionary yeast rehydration nutrient that is fast and simple to use without compromising on yeast health and performance.

Benefits of Sterol Flash include:

  • Allows yeast to be rehydrated in cool water (15°C/60°F) without any loss of viability or vitality.
  • Eliminates the need for acclimatization steps.  Rehydrated yeast can be added directly to juice or must after 15 minutes.
  • Improves fermentation kinetics and aroma production.
  • Non-clumping, instantly disperses in cool water.
  • Derived from autolyzed yeast, GO-FERM STEROL FLASH provides optimized levels of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) and extremely high levels of survival factors including sterols and unsaturated fatty acids.

Go-Ferm has been developed as the result of a multi-year study of prob­lem fermentations by Lallemand and National Agricultural Research Institute (INRA) in France. Their scientists found that in problem musts deficiencies in sterols and polyun­saturated fatty acids can leave yeast susceptible to osmotic shock, ethanol toxicity, temperature and other stress factors. The Go-Ferm product line has been continually improved through the years with updates variously known as Go-Ferm, Go-Ferm Protect, Go-Ferm Protect Evolution, and now Go-Ferm Sterol Flash.

Go-Ferm Protect incorporates sterols and polyunsaturated fatty acids (for cell protection) together with vitamins and minerals to help ensure yeast survival and to help main­tain fermentation activity to completion. 

How to Use

Basic Directions:

For each 10 grams of yeast to be hydrated, use 12 grams Go-Ferm mixed into 4 oz (120 ml) distilled water at around 60° F.  Add the yeast.  Gently break up any clumps and allow yeast to hydrate for 15 minutes. Pitch into the must.
