Protocol for Use
1. Rehydration Without Yeast Nutrition
Dosage: 20 to 40 g/hL
Rehydrate the yeast using water at 10 times its weight, with a temperature range of 95°F to 104°F (35°C to 40°C).
Resuspend the yeast by gently stirring, and wait for 20 minutes.
Blend the rehydrated yeast with a bit of juice/must, gradually acclimating the yeast suspension temperature to within 5-10 degrees of the juice/must temperature.
Inoculate into the juice/must.
2. Rehydration with Nutri-Rehyd
In the situations of tough fermentation conditions (high potential alcohol, over clarified must, low temperature), rehydrating yeast with Nutri-Rehyd is recommended. Carry out the rehydration procedure according to the selected Nutri-Rehyd product's instructions.

Biotin Powder – Yeast Nutrient
Overview
Biotin (Vitamin B7) is an essential cofactor that supports yeast metabolism and healthy fermentation. It plays a key role in fatty acid synthesis, amino acid metabolism, and energy production—processes that directly impact yeast vitality, alcohol tolerance, and fermentation completeness.
Why It Matters
Most malt-based worts naturally contain biotin, but grape must, honey, or sugar-based fermentations (like cider, mead, or hard seltzer) are often deficient. In these nutrient-poor environments, yeast can struggle to reproduce and may produce higher levels of unwanted byproducts such as hydrogen sulfide or volatile acidity.
Supplementing with biotin ensures robust yeast growth, faster fermentation starts, and cleaner flavor profiles.
When to Use
Wine & Mead: Add at yeast rehydration or early fermentation.
Cider & Hard Seltzer: Add with your complete yeast nutrient blend.
Beer: Useful for high-adjunct or sugar-heavy recipes.
Usage Rate
Use 0.1–0.5 mg per 5 gallons (19 L), or according to your nutrient formulation.
Key Benefits
Promotes strong yeast growth and vitality
Supports complete attenuation
Reduces the risk of sluggish or stuck fermentations
Enhances fermentation consistency in low-nutrient media

Fermentation Temperature: Maintain between 57°F and 68°F to preserve delicate aromas and prevent off-flavors.
Secondary Fermentation: Ideal for sparkling wine production with fine bubble retention and clean aromatic lift.
Performs reliably in difficult fermentations, including low nitrogen musts and high alcohol potential
Ideal for restarting sluggish or stuck fermentations
Tolerates extreme conditions: low temperature, low pH, high alcohol, and high sugar
Neutral sensory profile preserves varietal character and wine structure
Strong fermentation kinetics with rapid yeast biomass development
Enartis EZ Ferm 44 is a high-performance yeast strain developed for use in particularly challenging fermentation environments. It is especially effective in musts with low available nitrogen, high sugar content, and low temperature — conditions that often lead to sluggish or stuck fermentations. Its strong fermentative power, high alcohol tolerance (up to 17% v/v), and rapid biomass development make it an excellent choice for fermentation rescue operations and for fermenting difficult lots where reliability is critical. Rather than contributing intense aromatic esters, EZ Ferm 44 has a neutral profile that allows varietal and terroir characteristics to show through. It is also useful when the winemaking goal is to preserve structure and freshness without adding fruity overtones.
Protocol for Use:
Rehydrate in 10 times its weight of water at 35–38°C (95–100°F) for 20 minutes. After rehydration, slowly adapt the yeast to the must temperature by gradually adding must in small volumes over 10–15 minutes. Avoid temperature shocks greater than 10°C (18°F) between the yeast slurry and must. Inoculate immediately after acclimation is complete. For stuck fermentation restarts, follow a full restart protocol including detoxification and yeast acclimatization.
Usage Rate:
Recommended dosage is 20–30 g/hL
— 0.2–0.3 g/L
— 0.76–1.14 g/gal
Enhances Aromatics: Produces high levels of esters to significantly boost fruitiness in neutral grape varieties.
Softens Mouthfeel: Absorbs polyphenols to reduce harsh tannins and naturally metabolizes malic acid for smoother, early-drinking wines.
Versatile Application: Ideal for fresh reds, whites, rosés, and late harvest wines, performing well with high-acid grapes and alcohol levels up to 14%.
RV171 was naturally isolated and chosen for its ability to produce large quantities of esters (like isoamyl esters), it can enhance the aromatic features of wines produced from neutral grape varieties. This particular yeast strain is capable of adsorbing polyphenolic compounds from its cell walls, thus lessening the tannic structure in young and fresh red wines. Grape juice inoculated with RV171 is likely to undergo malolactic fermentation since this yeast strain is able to metabolize malic acid during the primary fermentation stage. RV171 is the perfect option for making young, fresh, fruity and easily drinkable red, rosé and white wines, and also a fitting choice for late harvest wines.

VL3 is a Bordeaux isolate that was selected following in-depth research identifying the molecules responsible for Sauvignon Blanc aroma. VL3 was found to enhance Sauvignon Blanc varietal characters and aromas (Mercaptopentanone, Mercaptohexanol, etc.) Subsequent experimentation has found this to be true of other white varietals such as Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Blanc as well. VL3 is well suited to aging on the lees and produces very low levels of VA and SO2. A premier yeast for Sauvignon Blanc fermentation worldwide. It is important to note that many of the sought after compounds that are enhanced by VL3 are actually sulfur based, so the use of oxygen and or Cu (copper) will effectively diminish or even remove them from the final wine if used in excess. Therefore, the use of nutrients is strongly recommended to avoid any H2S problems that would require oxygen or Cu to counteract. Best results from 60 to 68 degrees F, with an alcohol tolerance to 14%. Download the PDF Download the PDF
