Biocontrol agents against Brettanomyces
Publiée le 12/03/2019 16:55
Microbiology
Chemical inputs decrease and global warming (pH increase) are leading to less protected wines/musts. Contaminants, such as Brettanomyces, could thus be an issue and the use of selected wine bacteria can be a naturel alternative.

Sensory analysis Microbiology
From the vineyard to the bottle, every step of winemaking impacts the quality in the wine. Climate change also affects the quality of grapes, especially the sugar levels and pH, and, consequently, winemaking conditions must adapt. The increase in sugar levels and pH also influence the micro-organisms present on the grapes and, of course, the yeast and bacteria populations.
Restarting stuck alcoholic fermentation : a simple, efficient protocol
Publiée le 13/03/2018 13:25
Enological Consulting Microbiology Vinification process
Problems with alcoholic fermentation can be avoided by taking preventative measures as part of good alcoholic fermentation management. These measures include choosing an appropriate yeast; following the rehydration protocol; using yeast protector; sensible, balanced management of yeast nutrition; oxygen and temperature management, etc... However, unexpected factors can cause fermentation hitches. The problem must be identified and tackled to avoid disastrous consequences for wine.
