Harvest 2011 has been a challenge, to say the least. This week a customer walked in and announced that he was glad to have all his fruit in, so that now he could start doing winemaking. In support of that effort, we offer the following questionnaire. If you have a stuck or sluggish fermentation, working through these questions will assist in organizing your information, and can help you identify a course of action.

Lisa Van de Water has assisted many winemakers over the years, dealing with both northern and southern harvests every year. She has offered to assist our customers with any troublesome fermentations. Take a look at this - and don't hesitate to contact us or Lisa directly with any questions you may have.

Lactobacillus species, the lactic acid bacteria that can trigger the production of VA from sugar and stop your fermentation, has ruined too many gallons of wine. Higher pH and the resulting less effective SO2 additions made to grapes stressed by late rains and molds is setting this year up to be a bad one for Lactobacillus and other spoilage organisms.

We are well stocked with the most effective treatment available - Inovapure Lysozyme. For more information contact Doug Manning at (707) 256-9891. Technical information is posted on our website. For more detailed material go to http://neovatech.com/prod_ino.php

Bernard Pradel, the brains behind the invention of our unique liquid oak tannins, has provided us with some of the most smooth, aromatic, delicious smelling toasted oak chips. Prepared by different toasting procedures, with select wood chosen specifically for the production of chips (not leftovers from other projects), these chips have no sawdust in them. The very carefully controlled selection and toasting process creates a uniform and very tasty additive for the winemaker.

FIRE TOASTED delivers the char, mocha and chocolate elements of a heavy toast French Oak barrel.

VANILLA is a convection toast process that brings forth the natural vanilla profile of French Oak.

HOUSE BLEND is a combination of Fire Toast, Vanilla and Infrared Toast wood, delivering the equivalent of a medium toast French Oak barrel.

Like the liquid tannins, these chips are availble in sample sets. Please request your set of both the chips and the liquid tannins.

Napa, CA. - September 26, 2011 – Phyterra Yeast Inc. (“the Company”) is pleased to report that Lacon GmbH has renewed the Company’s organic certifications for its wine yeast products. This reaffirms and ensures that Phyterra’s wine yeasts are acceptable for use in organic wine production under both National Organic Program (“NOP”) USDA and European Commission Organic (“White Leaf” symbol) regulations. Phyterra’s wine yeasts have also been accepted and registered with California Certified Organic Farmers (“CCOF”) as organic wine yeast.

Phyterra’s wine yeasts feature an exclusive proprietary attribute of preventing the formation of hydrogen sulfide (“H₂S”) in the fermentation phase. This natural attribute was discovered in a vineyard yeast from Italy and refined by Dr. Linda Bisson, at the University of California, Davis. Years of development, and funding and support have come from the U.S. commercial wine industry, largely through the American Vineyard Foundation. These novel yeasts provide winemakers with an effective and viable way to prevent the occurrence of H₂S in fermentation, thereby preventing the need for H₂S remediation in wine production while retaining natural high quality winemaking practices in a way that best supports Wellness for Wine™.

Lacon GmbH Germany is an international agency that provides third party services for food and agriculture industries including the inspection and certification of organic production, processing and handling of agricultural produces, as well as the export and import of such products as per relevant national rules and Certification for International Featured Standards (“IFS”).
