Scott’TanTM FT Rouge is a proprietary tannin specifically formulated for the North American market. It is a blend of highly reactive tannins derived from exotic woods and chestnut. The addition of FT Rouge at the beginning of red wine fermentation helps preserve the grapes’ natural tannins so they can combine with anthocyanins to create optimal stable color. Mouthfeel is also enhanced. FT Rouge provides anti-oxidative protection and will inhibit oxidative enzymes (such as laccase) associated with browning. To Use: Gradually sprinkle FT Rouge directly on grapes at the crusher or add to the must during a pump-over to obtain good homogenization. If subsequent additions of FT Rouge are desired, this can be done in increments of 0.5 lb/1000 gal (63 ppm) during pump-overs. If an addition of FT Rouge (or FT Rouge Soft) is made post-fermentation, we recommend waiting 3-6 weeks after the tannin addition before racking, fining, filtering or bottling. Storage: Dated expiration. Unopened the shelf life is 5 years at 18ºC(65ºF). Once opened keep tightly sealed and dry. Recommended for use with:  Red, Fruit Recommended Dosage: Red Vinifera Must: 200-500 ppm || 20-50 g/hL || 1.6-4.0 lb/1000 gal Red Non-Vinifera Must: 300-600 ppm || 30-60 g/hL || 2.4-5.0 lb/1000 gal Fruit: 200-500 ppm || 20-50 g/hL || 1.60-4.0 lb/1000 gal Tannin Source: Chestnut Hardwood FT Rouge Tannin additions are highly beneficial during rot management for red wines as they act as an antioxidant and help minimize the damage from laccase.

Kerry FermCap® S is a unique emulsion of dimethylpolysiloxane. It is an extremely effective, surface active agent that prevents foam formation during fermentation by reducing surface tension. Reduced foaming increases fermentation capacity and prevents mess, improves alpha-acid utilization and CO2 recovery, and prevents hazes due to collapsed foam. Because of the novel behavior of FermCap®, it completely adsorbs onto the yeast, vessel walls, and filter media. No FermCap® remains in the finished beer.

Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients essential for an orderly and complete fermentation. During the cell growth and metabolization of sugars that takes place in every fermentation, yeast cells require an array of trace elements, vitamins, and compounds that can be assimilated from their environment in order to carry out their basic functions of life. However, honey-based fermentations are deficient in many of these nutrients. Nutrient deficiency can lead to disrupted or incomplete fermentations, off-flavors and aromas, and diminished stability of the finished product. Supplementing your must with Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend helps ensure high viability and health of your yeast population, which in turn helps ensure a rapid, complete, and successful fermentation with repeatable results. Contents: Proprietary blend of vitamins, minerals, inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen, zinc, phosphates and other trace elements. Wyeast Nutrient Blend contains DAP (Diammonium Phosphate). Dosage Rate: 1/2 tsp (2.2 g) per 5 gallons (19 L) of must (unfermented mead) Usage Directions: Dissolve Wyeast Nutrient in warm water prior to adding to must. Divide total volume evenly, each portion to be added over several alternating days. Add to must after pitching yeast, and over the next several days as determined by your nutrient addition plan. Degassing between nutrient addition days may be necessary to prevent foaming over. Shelf-Life: 1 year if stored in airtight container in a cool environment Size: Available in 1.5 oz (42 g) tubes

Make your own tangy & delicious Greek Yogurt. This heirloom variety is a thermophilic (heat-loving) culture that requires a yogurt maker, Instant Pot or alternate heating method. Reusable- by reserving a bit from each batch, you can continue to make Greek Yogurt over & over! Greek yogurt was originally made with sheep's milk (oxygala, or "sour milk"), but is now most often made with cow's milk. The term "Greek yogurt" refers to two different things. One is "Greek-style", which refers to yogurt that has been strained to remove most of the whey, making it very thick & creamy. It's what you most often find in grocery stores, but is not necessarily made with a Greek yogurt culture. The second is Greek yogurt made using the specific bacteria for Greek yogurt. This heirloom variety can be strained too, but can also be used repeatedly with proper care. Great for making traditional tzatziki, dips, smoothies & more. You will receive: 2 packets of Greek Yogurt starter culture and instructions You will need: saucepan to heat the milk wooden or plastic spoon yogurt thermometer yogurt maker 1 quart milk 1 packet Yogurt starter culture (save 2nd packet in freezer for future use) Instructions: Activate your starter culture: Stirring frequently, heat 1 quart milk to 160° F. Clip yogurt thermometer to side of saucepan to monitor temperature. Once heated to 160° F., allow to cool to 110° F. Pour the cooled milk into yogurt maker insert. Add starter culture packet and mix thoroughly. Cover and incubate in yogurt maker for 5-12 hours. Check after 5 hours to see if it has set (when set, it will move away from the side of the container in a solid mass, instead of running up the side of the container). If not set, allow to culture for up to 7 more hours, checking every 30-60 minutes. Once set, allow to cool a bit, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours. Your cultured yogurt can now be eaten. Be sure to reserve some back for your next batch. Making the next batch: Heat 1 quart milk to 160° F. Cool to 110° F. Pour cooled milk into yogurt maker insert. Add 1/4 cup finished yogurt and mix well. Cover & incubate in yogurt maker for 5-8 hours (this batch will culture faster). After 5 hours, check every 30-60 minutes until set. Once set, allow to cool a bit, then cover & refrigerate for 6 hours. Always remember to reserve back at least 1/4 cup of finished yogurt for the next batch. Try to make a new batch at least every 7 days to keep your culture strong. Always use the freshest batch as your starter. For thicker yogurt, use 1 part heavy cream to 3 parts whole milk, or strain through a yogurt bag or layered cheesecloth to remove some of the whey ( save the whey for other uses!). Ingredients: organic whole milk, Greek yogurt bacteria Probiotic bacteria found: S thermophilus and L. bulgaricus. CONTAINS MILK non-GMO, gluten free, organic, vegetarian

Tibicos, or water kefir, is a traditional fermented drink made with water and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts (SCOBY) held in a polysaccharide biofilm matrix created by the bacteria. It is often consumed as an alternative to milk-based probiotic drinks or tea-cultured products such as kombucha. Water kefir is typically made as a probiotic homebrew beverage. The finished product, if bottled, will produce a carbonated beverage. Use water, sugar and Water Kefir Grains to produce your own healthy, bubbly lacto-fermented beverage. Water Kefir is non-dairy and can be flavored easily. It has a much milder flavor than Kombucha. You will receive: 1 packet (2 tsp.) dehydrated Water Kefir Grains & instructions You will need: one quart canning jar or other glass jar coffee filter or paper towel to cover jar, and elastic band to secure cover fine mesh plastic strainer (no metal) wooden or plastic spoon 1/ 4 cup sugar (unbleached evaporated cane sugar works best) 3 cups water (filtered, spring or well water is ideal) Water Kefir grains Notes on sugar: Water Kefir grains do like to have a bit of mineral content in the liquid. With spring or well water, the minerals are present. With tap or filtered water, many of the minerals are removed. You can use molasses, rapadura, or other minimally refined sugars as a supplement to replace those minerals. Be sure not to use too much, as over mineralization can also be a problem. Directions: 1) Heat one cup of the water. Put it in the jar and stir in the sugar until thoroughly dissolved. Add the rest of the water and stir again. 2) Add the Water Kefir grains to the sugar water. Cover & secure with elastic band. Allow to culture at room temp (68° to 78° F. is ideal). Choose a draft-free spot, away from direct sunlight, where the jar won't be disturbed. Dehydrated grains will take 3 to 5 days to rehydrate, live grains will be ready in 2 days. 3) When the dehydrated grains are plump & translucent, they are ready to make Water Kefir. Strain the grains from the liquid, using a plastic strainer. The first batch may have an off flavor when rehydrating- if so, it can be discarded. 4) For your next batch of Water Kefir, put the grains into fresh sugar water, following the same instructions. Let culture for 2 days. Longer culture times make a more sour product, shorter times make a sweeter product. As your grains increase in volume, you can move up to a larger container. Just use the same ratios: 1/4 c. sugar per quart. The more grains in the jar, the faster it will ferment.There are many ways to flavor and use your Water Kefir. Check out our instructions for a Second Fermentation. Ingredients: organic sugar and molasses, water kefir culture Probiotic bacteria found: Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Pediococcus, and Leuconostoc, with yeasts from Saccharomyces, Candida, and Kloeckera. non-GMO, gluten free, vegan, organic, reusable, vegetarian
