{"product_id":"yeast-starter","title":"Yeast Starter","description":"\u003cp\u003eA yeast starter (dry malt extract) is essential for winemaking success. This concentrated culture activates dormant yeast cells, building a vigorous population before pitching into your must or juice. By rehydrating and allowing the starter to ferment for 24–48 hours, you ensure faster fermentation onset, more reliable flavor development, and reduced risk of stuck ferments or off-flavors from stressed yeast. Use a yeast starter (2 oz. for a 500 ml starter) when working with wine juice, must, or when you want to guarantee strong fermentation performance. Simply prepare according to package directions, monitor activity, and pitch at peak vigor for optimal results. Ideal for both novice and experienced winemakers seeking consistent, clean fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ld Carlson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46987780423811,"sku":"LD-3440","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9085\/5299\/files\/imageContent_c16c5898-1458-4f4b-a025-9af1adce7013.jpg?v=1776534697","url":"https:\/\/fulkerson-winery-and-farm.myshopify.com\/products\/yeast-starter","provider":"Fulkerson Winery and Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
