Exponential Feeding A system of sugar additions to a must so that a high
alcohol content can be achieved. If all the sugar is added at the start of
fermentation, there is a great danger that the sugar will inhibit or even
kill the yeast. By adding small amounts of sugar each time the specific
gravity falls to 1-005, the yeast learns to tolerate alcohol
concentrations which normally would kill it. In this way, a slow, steady
ferment is encouraged. This aids quality by not causing the vaporization
of esters.
