Fermivin CHAMPION
THE WELL-KNOWN AND UNSTOPPABLE YEAST
Purpose
Fermivin® CHAMPION is a very strong Saccharomyces cerevisiae ex. bayanus yeast characterised by a very high alcohol tolerance and a capacity to ensure complete fermentation in challenging conditions (high potential alcohol, toxic compounds, very low turbidity, low YAN).
Results & benefits
Oenological properties
| Fermentations kinetics | Standard |
| Nutrients requirements | Average |
| Alcohol tolerance | 18 % vol. |
| Temperature range | 12-30 °C, 54-86 °F |
Science and Technology
Fermivin CHAMPION has been validated by INRAe for its efficiency under many different and particularly problematic conditions.
It is a fructophilic yeast due to a unique hexose transporter (HXT3 version of strain 67J). The high fructose affinity gives the strain the ability to ferment fructose with glucose.
