Dried wine yeast - Fermivin VR5 - 7 g is a popular strain of the noble Saccharomyces cerevisiae genus, recommended for the long fermenting fruit wines, made of such fruit as chokeberry. It will also work well in all wines that require long term maturing. This product is easy to use, as it does not need to be initially propagated and you may add it directly to a carboy / demijohn right after mixing it with lukewarm water. The Fermivin VR5 yeast shows extreme tolerance to high acid, sugar, tannin and sulphir concentration, hence you may safely use the potassium metabisulfite as stabilizing agent. Contrary to the "wild" natural yeast this strain quickly starts the fermentation and protects the wine from infections and colour, aroma and taste loss. It also displays high alcohol resistance - up to 14% of content.

In our offer you will find refined, fluidly dried yeast that does not need to be activated, nor propagated prior to use. You only need to pour the yeast powder into a glass filled with circa 100 ml of lukewarm water, stir it thoroughly and let stand for 15 minutes. After that time pour the suspension directly to the ferment. Observing hygiene is of utmost importance here - the container used for yeast rehydration needs to be cleaned and sterilized before.

One packet contains 7 g of refined Fermivin VR5 dried wine yeast. It enables you to make up to 35 litres of wine. This is an original Biowin product.
