Four Easy Steps for Rehydrating Yeast and Inoculating Must

-
Step 1
Suspend 2.5lb/1,000 gal (30g/hL) of Go-Ferm in
20 times its weight of clean 110°F (43°C) water.
IMPORTANT: If not using Go-Ferm, water temperature
should be 104ºF (40°C)to avoid damaging the yeast.
Step 2
Once the temperature of the GO-FERM solution has
dropped to 104°F (40°C), add 2lb/1,000 gal (25g/hL) of
active dried yeast. Stir gently to break up any clumps.
Let suspension stand for 15-30 minutes, then stir gently
again. Note: Foam is not an indicator of yeast viability.
STEP 3
Slowly (5 minutes) combine an equal amount of must
to be fermented with the yeast suspension. This will
help the yeast to adjust to cool temperature must and
avoid cold shock caused by a rapid temperature drop
exceeding 18°F (10°C). This atemperation may need
repeating in very low temperature must.
Step 4
Add the yeast slurry to the bottom of the fermentation
vessel just as you begin filling the vessel with must.

Image
It is a known fact for anyone working in a laboratory be it the students, the researchers, scientists or lab assistants, it is necessary to follow safety rules and guidelines for their own safety. All laboratories have their lab safety symbols and lab safety equipments like goggles, mask, dress etc. At the same time, it is also very essential that a laboratory is well-maintained and taken care of so as to prevent any kind of dangers involved while working in a lab. As per rule, there should be routine maintenance and safety checks in a laboratory. Infact, it should be the duty of every person working in a laboratory to do a quick safety check after the completion of each experiment and before the starting of a new one. Or a responsible personnel should be assigned the duty to clean the laboratory and perform simple maintenance for lab care and safety . Laboratory Maintenance Presenting below few points which should be considered for laboratory maintenance: Bench:
