Gusmer Enterprises Micro Essentials TM Nutrients Balanced Nutrition for Healthy Fermentations
Gusmer’s Micro Essentials fermentation nutrients are based on the latest research, designed specifically for alcoholic fermentations, and incorporate premium ingredients.
Our complex supplements contain highly refined polypeptides and amino acids, and a full spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals and other yeast survival factors for a rich source of compounds that are highly assimilable by yeast. • Produced domestically in our own facility under GMP conditions • Used to support yeast growth, protein synthesis, general metabolism, and alcohol tolerance • Contributes to vigorous fermentation and consistent congener production • Guards against the formation of unwanted metabolites The use of fermentation nutrients in alcoholic fermentations is well documented. In addition to fermentable sugars, yeast requires nitrogen, vitamins, minerals, sterols and more to build biomass and reach the cell density required for a healthy fermentation. While fruit and grain substrates supply the carbohydrates required for fermentable sugars, they often lack these other key nutritional components. When they are not made available yeast grow under stressful conditions and fermentations are often sluggish, inconsistent, incomplete and produce undesirable metabolites such as hydrogen sulfide that can carry over into the distillate.
Micro Essentials Powder
Micro Essentials Complete-TR
• Full spectrum nutrient blend in a powdered form • Dosed into the fermenter during inoculation, and as required throughout the alcoholic fermentation • Recommended for all fruit and grain-based spirits, especially when the FAN (free amino nitrogen) is known to be low or fermentation conditions prove to be challenging
• Time-release tablets provide easy way to dose throughout fermentation with a single addition • Tan tablets contain a higher percentage of organically derived nitrogen, along with inorganic nitrogen, vitamins, minerals and yeast survival factors, and have a fast dissolution rate to provide the nutrients required to build biomass during the exponential growth phase • White tablets are formulated with a higher percentage of inorganic nitrogen and a slower dissolution rate to provide nutrition throughout fermentation
