Go-Ferm Protect is a natural yeast nutrient that is added to the yeast hydration water before adding your selected yeast strain. Its complex formula provides your yeast with the proper sterols, unsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients needed to begin fermentation in optimal shape. The great thing about Go-Ferm Protect is that the proper nutrients and vitamins are introduced BEFORE the yeast is added to the must. This way 100% of the nutrients are available to your selected yeast strain and won’t be stolen away by any indigenous yeast or bacteria that may be present in the must before your yeast can become established.

Go-Ferm Protect was created as a result of a multi-year study of problem fermentations by Lallemand and the National Agricultural Research Institute (INRA) in France. During this period, they looked at the adverse effects on the yeast from overripe fruit (>28 Brix), low nutrient levels, overclarification of the juice and poor fruit quality (Botrytis, rot, high bacteria count, insecticide and fungicide residue). Their research showed that musts deficient in sterols and unsaturated fatty acids made yeast more susceptible to ethanol toxicity (high alcohol), osmotic shock (high sugar), temperature and others stress factors. In response to this data they created the NATSTEP (NATural STErol Protection) process that incorporated sterols, unsaturated fatty acids, as well as vitamins and minerals into an advance yeast hydration nutrient: Go-Ferm Protect.

Go-Ferm Protect provides a combination of protective and nutritional benefits that ensure your yeast begins your fermentation in peak form! The best part is that if your fruit is in great shape then Go-Ferm Protect will simply help your yeast out that much more!

Go-Ferm Protect does not contain any DAP, as DAP is harmful to the yeast during the rehydration process. GO-Ferm is usually used in conjunction with our Fermaid K yeast nutrient; where Go-Ferm Protect is used at yeast hydration then Fermaid K is added at the first signs of fermentation and again after 1/3 sugar depletion.

Use:
Use at a rate of 1.25 g Go-Ferm Protect per 1 g of yeast.

A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 3.2 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose. We do not recommend relying on these rough conversions for accurate dosage rates.

Improves fermentation kinetics and aroma production
Allows yeast to be rehydrated in cool water (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
Requires 50% less water than Go-Ferm or Go-Ferm Protect Evolution
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
Recommended Dosage: 30 g/hL (2.5lb/1,000gal)

Usage: Mix Go-Ferm Sterol Flash in 10 times its weight of clean 60°F water. Add 25 g/hL (2 lb/1000 gal) of active dried yeast, stir gently and allow the yeast to rehydrate for 15 minutes. Gently stir again, then add to the tank or barrel and mix to homogenize. There is no need to acclimate the rehydrated yeast to the juice/must temperature.

Storage: Dated expiration. Store in a cool and dry environment at 18°C (65°F). Once opened, keep tightly sealed and dry.

Yeast nutrients aid in providing an optimal environment for yeast to thrive in, leading to an all-round happier, healthier, and faster fermentation. The use of yeast nutrients can improve the overall flavour, aroma, and quality of the final product, helping you produce consistent mead every time.

Directions: For staggered nutrient additions, add the necessary nutrients at the beginning of fermentation and continue to add further nutrients as needed throughout the fermentation process according to the specific requirements of the recipe. If you would like to rehydrate, please see full rehydration instructions here.

Ingredients: 100% yeast autolysate.
Batch Size: Suitable for batch sizes 3-9 L, depending upon on ABV, sweetness, and yeast nitrogen requirements. Use part or multiple sachets as required.
Organic Nitrogen: Minimum 4 % w/w YAN on dry basis
GMO Status: GMO Free
Net Weight: 12 g (0.42 oz)
