SUMMARY:Preharvest Winemaking
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE IN-PERSON WORKSHOP \nJoin Molly Kelly\, enology extension educator\, as we delve into the use of biocontrol agents from harvest through winemaking. We will discuss the use of non-Saccharomyces yeast that suppress acetic acid production of spoilage yeasts\, acetic acid bacteria\, and other bacteria during the pre-fermentative stages. Other non-Saccharomyces yeasts consume oxygen to protect aroma and color from oxidative damage and suppress the growth of spoilage bacteria that can result in volatile acidity. \nEVENT DETAILS \nDuring this three-hour in-person workshop\, learn about the winemaking process with Extension Educator Molly Kelly. Attendees are encouraged to bring wines for group assessment and feedback. Lunch will be provided. \nWHEN \nAugust 22\, 2024\n(10:00 AM-1:00 PM) \nWHERE \nClover Hill Vineyards and Winery\n9850 Newtown Rd\nBreinigsville\, PA 18031\nRegister By: August 14\, 2024\nSee event fee details.  \nThe use of these bioprotectants ensures that juice can be protected from microbial spoilage during clarification or short-term storage\, allowing for minimized sulfur dioxide use. Chitosan products will also be discussed as microbial control agents to protect wine from acetic and lactic acid spoilage bacteria. \nWho is this for? \nWinemakers\nWinery owners\nCellar workers\nWhat will you learn? \nUsing non-Saccharomyces yeast as bioprotectant in juice and during cold soak\nHow non-Saccharomyces yeast act as an antioxidant to protect aroma and color\nHow non-Saccharomyces yeast consume oxygen to suppress spoilage bacteria\nProper use of chitosan products to decrease spoilage bacteria in juice and wine\nRegistering before the event is encouraged and appreciated! \nRegister By\nAugust 14\, 2024
