FERMO BREW NECTAR

FERMO Brew Nectar is obtained by hybridization. It can be used for specialty beers with a candy and yellow fruit flavor profile. Thanks to its medium nutrient requirements, this yeast strain produces a pleasantly full-bodied profile even in the early stages of fermentation and also makes it possible to produce non-alcoholic or low-alcohol beers with elegant aromatic berry notes using the fermentation interruption method (<0.5 % vol.).

Aroma and flavor characteristics:

An aromatic yeast strain that imparts yellow or stoned-fruit-like characters of peaches and nectarines, and candy-like aromas.

Remarks

FERMO BREW NECTAR enhances aroma-active thiols in the early stage of fermentation. Phenolic compounds (POF+) are produced in the later stages of fermentation. Yeast nutrients from the FERMOPLUS® range will further enhance the aroma profile. For low alcohol beers a pH correction is recommended. Despite the high alcohol tolerance FERMO BREW NECTAR produces low volumes of alcohol during fermentation making it particularly suited for brewing low and non alcohol beers.

Use

It is generally recommended that active dry yeast is pitched directly into the wort without prior rehydration. If direct pitching is not feasible the yeast can be hydrated and pitched in liquid form. To rehydrate dissolve the dry yeast in sterile water or in wort at 11-16°C / 52-61°F at a ratio of 1:10. Stir gently and leave for approximately 20 minutes. Gently stir again and add to the cooled wort in the fermenter. To avoid yeast stress, ensure temperature fluctuations are minimal.
