Easy to Use

Lesaffre know-how and continuous yeast production process improvement generates an exceptional quality of dry yeasts able to resist to a very wide range of uses, including by-passing acclimatization, cold or no rehydration conditions, without affecting their viability, kinetic and/or analytical profile. Winemakers can choose to use our E2U™ yeast with the process that fits best their need:

Direct inoculation:

Pour the yeast on the surface of at least 10 times their weight of must (possibly directly on the top of the tank or during tank filling after settling for whites and rosés)
Gently stir to avoid or break clumps
Immediately transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration (or homogenize tank volume)

With prior rehydration:

Pour the yeast on the surface of 10 times their weight of tap water at room temperature.
Gently stir to avoid or break clumps
Wait for 20 minutes and transfer into the tank via a pumping over with aeration
