Yeast Additions

Zin calcs:

  • 121 g yeast = 121 gallons * 1 g/gallon
  • 152 g GoFerm = 121 g yeast * 1.25
  • 3 L H2O = 152 g GoFerm * 20 = 3040 g H2O
Bev People sells the yeast in 4oz packets = 4 * 28.3495 = 113 g per packet, so we need about 1 packet. The syrah was a simlar amount, and we planned on using the same Rockpile yeast on both the syrah and zin. So we decided to mix two 4 oz packets of yeast.
  • 8 oz yeast: 227 g
  • 10 oz GoFerm: 283 g
  • 200 oz H2o: 1.56 gallons H2O
We mixed the yeast and GoFerm and water per the Lallemand yeast rehydration protocol, and added the result to both macro bins, with a little more going to the zin. We mixed it in well.
