Ferm Solutions offers distilleries, breweries and wineries yeast, enzymes, technical support and hands-on training.
We are a small family owned company with a large footprint around country and around the world. When it comes to distilled and craft spirits we pride ourselves in not only selling the fermentation products and services that will help make you successful but, we are drinking the Kool-Aid, or in this case the bourbon, rum and vodka. You see not only do we sell the products you need for fermentation; we use them ourselves in our own craft spirits distillery.
Your One-Stop Resource for High Quality Spirits Production
Yeasts, Enzymes and Antimicrobials
Fermentation of grain-based feedstocks requires enzymes to convert starch to fermentable sugars, used by the yeast to produce ethanol. We offer two different enzymes (alpha- and glucoamylase) for starch and dextrin conversion to for maximum production and yields. Any unconverted starch or dextrins at the end of fermentation equates to lost revenue, so enzymes are a great way to improve yield and production.
Lab Services
Ferm Solutions offers a wide array of lab services focused around the fermentation process. From microbiological testing aimed at yeast health or microbial contamination to analytical services to determine success in fermentation, Ferm Solutions has got you covered. Below is a list of services, but others are available upon request.
