SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE, STRAIN BO213

 1 - ORIGIN:

 Selected by J. LAFFORT & Cie for its high fermenting capacity and its resistance to high alcohol concentration.

 2 - CHARACTERISTICS:

Ä ACTIFLORE B is recommended for restarting stuck fermentations when the alcoholic level is high and residual sugar is low.

   Ä ACTIFLORE B can ferment up to 18% alcohol / vol. and is recommended for the production of sweet wines.

   Ä From experimentation it is found that ACTIFLORE B ferments quickly; its growth is slow, but is relatively unaffected by increase of alcohol concentration.

ÄThe yield of transformation of sugar into alcohol is around 16g for 1%     alcohol/vol.

          Ä The production of volatile acidity is low.

          Ä Fermentation from 12°C upward.

 3 - DIRECTION FOR USE:

  Mix 1 Kg of ACTIFLORE B and 1 Kg of sugar to 10 litres of water at 40°C.

Leave for 20 Min, then stir slowly. The yeast is ready for use. The addition is carried out by introducing directly into the fermenting tank and by homogenising. After re-hydration, avoid a temperature difference of more than 5°C between the prepared yeast and the must that is to be inoculated.

To restart a stuck fermentation (see BIOACTIV documentation) it is always advisable to prepare the yeasts in a solution composed of equal volumes of wine and water at 40°C, together with 20 to 30 g/l of sugar. The addition of the fermenting yeasts to the wine will have to be done when the quantity of sugar remaining in the leaven will be lower than the sugar left in the wine.

PACKING: Cartons of 20 x 500-g bags.
