Fermaid C™ is a blended complex yeast nutrient suitable for the alcoholic fermentation of apple juice.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: For cider applications, the recommended dose is 30-50 g/hL. It is recommended to split the Fermaid C™ addition; half at yeast inoculation and again at 1/3rd sugar depletion, especially for juice limited in available nitrogen and high sugars.
In all alcohol fermentations yeast growth must occur before alcoholic fermentation can begin. In most applications, the usual inoculation rate is 30 grams per hectoliter (300 ppm or 2.5 pounds/1,000 gallons) which results in an initial cell concentration of 3 to 4 million viable yeast cells per milliliter of juice. Under normal conditions for virtually all types of fermentation media the cell population will increase to 100 to 150 million viable yeast cells/milliliter before growth stops and alcohol fermentation takes over.
