Arauner Kitzinger Pure Culture Yeast Universal, 5 g Dry Yeast for 10-50 l

The Universal is the all-rounder among the Kitzinger pure culture yeasts: It ferments white, red and rosé wines just as well as fruit mashes and musts and achieves varietally typical, clean-tasting results. With a temperature range of 15 to 23 °C and an alcohol tolerance up to 16 % vol., it covers most batches in the hobby cellar.

To use, let the contents of the sachet swell in ten times their volume of water (50 ml) at 35–40 °C for about 20 minutes, at most 45 minutes (the pack still states 1/8 litre at 30–35 °C and 2 to 3 hours), and then add them to the juice to be fermented. When adding, make sure starter and juice are no more than 5 to 10 °C apart (the 2 °C on the pack is stricter than necessary and does no harm), and ideally place the fermentation vessel at 15 to 20 °C. The 5 g pack is enough for 10 to 50 litres and should be used all at once; store the yeast cool and dry.
