the world. Can handle lower fermentation temperatures.

Proper yeast hydration helps ensure a healthy fermentation. For every
gram of yeast, mix .25 g of FermStart yeast nutrient with 25 ml of
sterilized tap water between 104–106°F/40–41°C. When water reaches
104°F/40°C, sprinkle yeast into water and stir gently. Allow the slurry
to stand undisturbed for 15 minutes and then stir again. For every gram
of yeast used add 25 ml of clean must to the yeast slurry and let stand
15–20 minutes. If necessary, use additional must to adjust yeast slurry
to within 18°F of must temp before pitching. For a complete nutrient
schedule sufficient for most fermentations, add 1.5 g of FermFed DAP
Free per gallon of must at the first sign of fermentation and 1 g of
FermFed per gallon of must after 1/3 sugar depletion.
