Yeast for Alcohol

A Yeast for Every Need. Little-known for its action in the fermentation of alcohol, yeast plays nonetheless an essential role.

Depending upon the type of yeast selected, the quality and characteristics of the finished product will differ. The final alcohol content will be more or less important, or specific aromas will be developed, such as banana in beer or wine, for example.

Fermentis is a business unit of the Lesaffre Group dedicated to the sales and development of yeasts and yeast products to the beer, wine, spirits and industrial ethanol industries.
Among its customers are industrial and microbreweries, wine cellars as well as fuel ethanol facilities, the ‘green’, plant-based fuel.
