The ideal solution for neutral alcohol base such as hard seltzer
Developed to ferment “pure” sugars very fast without any other additions and to obtain a perfectly neutral final product.
Ingredients: minerals and vitamins (see detailed composition on product label).
All ingredients are food grade or pharmaceutical grade.
DOSAGE
550g/hl (SpringFerm™ NAB-2) or 440g/hl (SpringFerm™ NAB-3) for high gravity wort containing
[270 – 300] g of “pure” sugar / liter.
For low gravity wort, contact us at fermentis@lesaffre.com to know our recommendations.
FERMENTATION TEMPERATURE
For the yeast strain chosen, please consult the yeast TDS for fermentation temperature ranges.
USAGE
Due to the neutrality target of the final product, focus should be on sterility throughout
the process. However, please note that sterilization or pasteurization could damage vitamins
contained in SpringFerm™ NAB.
→ First cool down sugar solution or very high adjunct wort to 30-35°C/86-95°F,
then add SpringFerm™ NAB.
→ If possible, run agitation/recirculation for 10 minutes to ensure homogeneity,
prior to yeast pitching.
→ Yeast should be either pitched direct in the fermentation vessel (if the yeast chosen
is certified E2U™) or rehydrated in a separate vessel. In this case, fill a vessel with 10x
the weight of yeast in sterile water at 32-35°C/90-95°F.
→ Add dry yeast to the vessel and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
→ After this waiting period, gently stir the solution to further rehydrate the dry yeast in water
to make a cream solution.
→ Wait an additional 10-15 minutes and the cream yeast is ready to pitch.
For the yeast strain chosen, please consult the yeast technical data sheet for fermentation
temperature ranges.
