Tokay Wine Yeast Product description:

Tokay - for white dessert and table wine; for fruit such as gooseberry, hawthorn, pear, apple, rhubarb, apricot, dog rose, strawberry, white grape, white currant, as well as raisin and grains

Making wine from fruit must is possible thanks to micro-organisms - more specifically, a large group of yeast belonging to the species Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces bayanus.

Used in the winemaking industry, carefully selected and improved in laboratories, noble wine yeasts are divided into a number of kinds, depending on the substrate preferences (type of fruit, sugar concentration), the speed and efficiency of alcohol manufacture.

The yeast is offered in the form of a suspension, in a special protective liquid; quantity: 20ml. It is visible in the sachet in the form of light brown sediment.

Before using the yeast, shake the sachet well until the liquid becomes turbid. A single dose, following growth, is sufficient to prepare up to 25l of wine.

Yeast in the form of a liquid suspension, manufactured by Biowin, has all necessary certificates, attesting to its high quality. The strains come from the most reputable microbiology institutes in Poland; they are mesophilic, which means that they grow in the temperature between 18 and 30oC.Instructions for use Yeast should be stored in a cool and dry place, not exposed to direct sunlight.

Advantages of noble wine yeast - tolerance to alcohol of approx. 14-18% -tolerance to high concentrations of sugar (honey or universal), carbon dioxide, tanning agents resistance to higher sulphur concentrations, e.g. following the use of potassium pyrosulfite fermentation process induced by noble yeast is faster and therefore reduces the likelihood of infections -finished wine is stable and well fermented -permanent colour and properly selected bouquet.

Disadvantages of fermentation with the use of wild yeast - tolerance to alcohol of only up to approx. 10% -low resistance to acids, higher sugar concentrations, large quantities of tanning agents

Ingredients: malt wort, water, citric acid, Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, ammonium hydrogen phosphate (V).
