Fermenting Red Grapes
Automatic Yeast Re-hydration, Acclimatization & Pitching. Replace dreaded “Stuck Fermentations” with healthy, vigorous fermentations!
- A touch-screen PLC automatically controls precise temperatures with an aeration mixer, an on-board feed pump and digital timing to rehydrate, propagate, acclimatize and pitch your yeast perfectly and consistently
- Eliminates the “human error” factor in yeast re-hydration to facilitate the optimum pitching rates and temperatures for trouble-free fermentations.
- In multi-tank scenarios it allows faster pitching times with capacities to rehydrate and pitch up to 12 tanks from one batch
- Optimum fermentations finish 1-5 days earlier allowing more tank turnover for higher production. Most wineries experience at least one full extra “turn” on their fermentation tanks
- By propagating the yeast in precise, ideal conditions, initial yeast requirements are cut in half, affording up to a 50% savings in yeast costs
