The recommended amount of yeast to add per gallon of sugar wash for optimal fermentation is typically 1 to 2 grams.
Yeast nutrient should be added to mead at the beginning of fermentation for optimal results.
Yeast should be added to the mash at a temperature between 70-75F for optimal fermentation.
For optimal plant growth, add 1-2 tablespoons of fish emulsion per gallon of water.
For optimal plant growth, it is recommended to add 1-2 tablespoons of fish fertilizer per gallon of water.
Potassium sorbate should be added to wine before bottling to prevent further fermentation and spoilage.
Fruit should be added to mead during the secondary fermentation stage, after the initial fermentation with honey and water is complete. This allows the fruit flavors to infuse into the mead without being lost during the vigorous primary fermentation.
In batch fermentation, substrate is added all at once at the beginning of the process, and no more is added during the run. The product is generally not siphoned off during the fermentation process but is harvested once the fermentation is complete.
Sugar must be added to obtain true fermentation of the grapes.
batch fermentation : fermenter is filled ONCE until its full, (no more substrate added through reaction), no product harvesting tale place during process. Product is harvested after the completion of the process.fed batch : fermenter is only partly filled (certain amount of substrate is added throughout the reaction), one or more nutrients (substrates) are fed (supplied) to the bioreactor during cultivation and in which the product(s) remain in the bioreactor until the end of the run.
To effectively disinfect water, you should add 8 drops of bleach per gallon of water.
To effectively sanitize, you should add 1/4 cup of bleach per gallon of water.
Pectic enzyme should be added to mead before fermentation begins to help break down pectin in the fruit and improve clarity and flavor.
