Application and additions
For mashing in, Biogen-M is additionally required. The liquefying enzyme is already included in Gärfix. The alcohol content of fruit mashes generally lies, depending on the fruit variety, between approx. 2 and 8 %vol; Gärfix can produce a maximum of around 12 %vol of alcohol in the mash.
For monitoring the sugar content an Oechsle hydrometer is suitable. During fermentation the batch should be kept protected and pressure-free, for example with an airlock and a matching stopper for the airlock. With strongly foaming mashes an anti-foam agent can be helpful.
Which Gärfix variant is the right one?
For mashes of stone fruit or berry fruit, Gärfix for Stone and Berry Fruit is the more appropriate choice. For hard fruits and raw materials such as sloes, rose hips, rowanberries, gentian or quinces, Gärfix Spezial is recommended.
