Product Details

Nectar is a dried version of the new generation of yeasts that use natural (if controlled) hybridisation to prouce strains with particular characteristics,

AROMA & FLAVOUR CHARACTERISTICS

An aromatic yeast strain that imparts yellow or stoned-fruit-like characters of peaches and nectarines, and candy-like aromas.

NECTAR enhances aroma-active thiols in the early stage of fermentation.

Phenolic compounds (POF+) are produced in the later stages of fermentation.

For low alcohol beers a pH correction is recommended.

Despite the high alcohol tolerance, NECTAR is particularly suited for brewing low and non alcohol beers.


BREWING PROPERTIES

Positive

STA-1: Negative

Dosage:
One 12g sachet is enough to treat 22 litre batch. Or 60-100 grams per barrel, depending on wort temperature and gravity.
Direct Pitch or Rehydrate:
NECTAR yeast is designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no oxygenation required in the initial fermentation. Our aerobic growth process makes this possible by creating dry yeast with high viability and high sterol levels. NECTAR yeast is pre-loaded with essential nutrients to ensure a successful, complete fermentation. While not required, some brewers prefer to rehydrate yeast. To hydrate yeast, first, sanitize the yeast brick and scissors. Use 10 grams of sterilized tap water between 85-95°F (29-35°C) mixed with 0.25 grams of FermStart per gram of yeast. Sprinkle yeast on the water. Allow the slurry to stand undisturbed for 20 minutes, then swirl. Use small amounts of wort to adjust to within 10°F (6°C) of wort temperature before pitching. Ferment between 63-72°F (18-22°C).
