Are Winemakers Getting the Most from Their Yeast?

The nutritional health of yeast can determine the success – or failure - of the resulting wine. To get the most out of your yeast, a high-quality nutrient product is essential.

“High quality micronutrients are essential to the healthy development of the yeast and a robust fermentation,” emphasizes Bill Merz, Gusmer Enterprises Inc’s Director of West Coast Beverage Sales and a winemaker himself. “The solubility of those nutrients is also key to yeast cell access. That’s exactly the kind of scientific research Gusmer has done and the superior products it provides.”

Gusmer Enterprises, Inc., a leading manufacturer and supplier of fermentation and filtration products for the beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries since 1924, specializes in the distribution of yeast nutrition developed to ensure healthy, vigorous and clean wine batch fermentation, vintage after vintage.

Included in Gusmer ‘s comprehensive portfolio of nutritional yeast enhancements to assist winemakers with their craft is MicroEssentials Complete-TR, the most advanced yeast nutrient on the market, incorporating the latest research in yeast nutrition and time-release technology.

MicroEssentials Complete-TR’s unique, sustained-release system is comprised of two tablets, providing complete supplementation while also stimulating incremental dosing.

The first tablet contains a higher percentage of organic nitrogen, as well as inorganic nitrogen, vitamins and minerals to facilitate biomass buildup during the exponential phase of fermentation. The second tablet is formulated to dissolve at a slower rate, and contains a higher concentration of inorganic nitrogen with nutrients to help maintain yeast populations.

Gusmer also offers MicroEssentials Boost, a time-released nutrient specifically designed to supplement ferments with one single dose, making it ideal for barrel fermentation.

In addition, Gusmer offers winemakers MicroEssentials Powder, a full spectrum yeast nutrient blend in a loose powdered form containing highly refined polypeptides, amino acids and a full complement of vitamins, minerals and yeast survival factors that are highly assimilable by yeast.

Gusmer’s MicroEssentials Prime is a DAP-free rehydration nutrient that provides a rich mixture of nitrogen, vitamins and trace minerals. MicroEssentials Prime is designed for multiple applications and is intended for use in conjunction with Gusmer’s other MicroEssentials nutrients.


“Gusmer’s R&D team develops our nutrient products in-house, ensuring that we understand their performance firsthand," notes Chris Nevosh, Gusmer’s Senior Product Manager. “We collaborate closely with our customers, conducting extensive yeast and nutrient trials to guarantee the highest quality products and successful results. What sets Gusmer apart is our Service with Knowledge® approach, supported by a dedicated team of application specialists, R&D scientists, and technical sales representatives, all available to help you achieve your goals.”
