View Table of Contents Yeast for Distillation

More than ever before, distillers are offering a wide array of unique and interesting distilled products, utilizing both the science of fermentation and the art of the craft to produce quality products that are differentiated and stand out to discerning consumers. As a supplier of yeast to the alcoholic beverage industry for decades, Gusmer has many strains of specialized yeast that were selected for their abilities to perform alcoholic fermentations and make positive contributions to the organoleptic profile. Yeast strains with proven kinetics and the ability to produce aromatic and mouthfeel constituents, or the inability to produce certain negative metabolites – such as hydrogen sulfide. We work exclusively with Chr. Hansen and Renaissance Yeast, two leaders in the production of yeast for the beverage industry and offer both the traditional Saccharomyces strains and the newly commercialized Non- Saccharomyces strains. Chr. Hansen Yeast Strains

Chr. Hansen’s mixed culture strains are an ideal blend of Saccharomyces and Non- Saccharomyces yeast specifically developed to enhance flavors, aromas and mouthfeel constituents, yet assure reliable fermentations. These yeast blends provide the positive attributes and complexities of a “wild-fermentation”, but with great control and consistency. They are especially well suited for Gin, Brandy and fruit Brandy. Melody TM – (60% Saccharomyces cerevisiae / 20% Lachancea thermotolerans / 20% Torulaspora delbrueckii ) Harmony – (80% Saccharomyces cerevisiae / 10% Lachancea thermotolerans / 10% Torulaspora delbrueckii ) Rhythm – (60% Saccharomyces cerevisiae / 40% Lachancea thermotolerans ) Merit TM - ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) – strong fermentation kinetics and alcohol tolerant up to 17% v/v. Ideal for any fruit and grain fermentation, or restarting stuck fermentations. Widely used in the industry and known as a low producer of hydrogen sulfide. Jazz TM - ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) – direct vessel starter (DVS) strain that eliminates the rehydration step. Jazz is delivered as Active Dry Yeast.

Renaissance Yeast Strains (Non-Hydrogen Sulfide Producing)

Renaissance has developed a new line of yeast strains that have a natural inability to produce hydrogen sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide, a known fermentation defect, can carry over in the distillation. Even at trace amounts, hydrogen sulfide can bind up desirable aromatic compounds. Renaissance Yeast strains are known for their clean fermentations, bright aromas, and for producing aromatic distillates. Viva TM – ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae bayanus ) Clean fermenting yeast Avante TM – ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) Excellent choice for Tequila Ossia TM – ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae hybrid ) Organic Yeast for the production of organic spirits
