Answer #1

Answer

Fermentation is a well known metabolic process in which an organism converts carbohydrates mainly sugar, starch etc. into an acid or alcohol.

Yeast obtains the energy by converting carbohydrates into alcohol or acids.

When sugar is fermented by yeast, it produces gas as a waste product (ex-carbon dioxide).

Application: Alcohol in beer results from the sugar fermentation by yeast. In this, glucose is left with yeast and that results in production of alcohol in beer.

Nitrogen Balance: Your fermentation has 87 ppm in the juice before you begin your fermentation, and you would like to end up with 250ppm total Yeast Assimable Nitrogen by the 1/3 sugar depletion of your fermentation. Figure out how much you need to add along the way: You add 5 ppm YAN at inoculation...how much do you still need to add by 1/3 sugar depletion?
