Ingredients
-
Citric Acid 200g bulk
Citric Acid is derived from certain fruits like lemons. It can be used as a preservative in beverages and food. Also used as a flavour enhancer.
1 TBSP in 1L of warm water will also clean copper equipment and bring back that shiny look. -
Mangrove Jack's Wine Nutrient
A yeast nutrient complex that supports yeast health to improve fermentation of wine from grape or other fruit juice.
-
Vintner's Harvest Pectinase 75g
Pectinase breaks down the pectins in fruit, releasing juice and flavour and enhancing yield. It is used primarily in fruit and white wine making. Keep refrigerated.
Pectinase should be added whilst the fruit is being crushed. Prepare 1 tablespoon (4g) of Pectinase per 5kg of fruit in a 100ml warm water solution. Stir through the pulp. Leave for a minimum of 6 - 12 hours before pressing.
Pulp: Add 1 tspn per 5L directly to pulp, leave two hours @ 50°C before diluting for main fermentation. -
HS Campden Tablets x 100
Handcraft Supplies Campden Tablets for use in winemaking to sanitise fruit must or to preserve wines/ciders. Simply crush and dose as per instructions on label. Approximately 100 tablets in a tamper proof and resealable tub. Contains sodium metabisulphite.
-
Vintner's Harvest Wine Nutrient 100g
Wine Nutrient supports the yeast to achieve an undisturbed, clean fermentation, free from residual sugar. Can help prevent untypical ageing off-flavour. Helps sluggish musts and worts to fast and complete fermentation. For low fruit & concentrate table wines (rapid fermentation) use 24g to 30g per 23L. -
Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend
Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients essential for an orderly and complete fermentation.
During the cell growth and metabolization of sugars that takes place in every fermentation, yeast cells require an array of trace elements, vitamins, and compounds that can be assimilated from their environment in order to carry out their basic functions of life. However, honey-based fermentations are deficient in many of these nutrients. Nutrient deficiency can lead to disrupted or incomplete fermentations, off-flavors and aromas, and diminished stability of the finished product.
Supplementing your must with Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend helps ensure high viability and health of your yeast population, which in turn helps ensure a rapid, complete, and successful fermentation with repeatable results.
