Let’s Brew Premium Yeast Nutrient (100g)
R95.00
During fermentation, brewing yeast can struggle to achieve consistent performance. This happens when yeast cells are placed in stressful brewing environments, which can be caused by a wide variety of conditions. These conditions range from high gravity environments, adjunct brewing or nutrient-poor wort, among many others.
Having inconsistent or tailing fermentation can lead to flavor defects, increased product waste, limited brewery capacity and manufacturing downtime.
- Description
Description
Let’s Brew Premium Yeast Nutrient is a powder yeast nutrient based on readily available sources of nitrogen blended with additional amino acids, minerals and vitamins.
The two main requirements for consistent, predictable fermentations are healthy yeast and a nutrient balanced wort.
It is generally recognized that only wort produced from a well modified, all malt grist approaches these needs, and even this requires supplementation with oxygen and zinc.
The common practice of high gravity, adjunct brewing has introduced two fermentation problems:
nutrient deficiency and conditions of high stress for yeast.
Yeast generated under these difficult conditions typically show symptoms of reduced vigor, which can be compounded at each regeneration.
Problems associated with reduced vigor include slow or sticking fermentation, off-flavors associated with sulphur containing compounds, slow diacetyl reduction,
and autolysis.
Benefits
Faster Fermentation
Consistent fermentation
Supports adjunct and High gravity brewing
Usage
Treatment rates are typically in the range 4 – 6 gm/hl.
Add to the kettle at end of boil, to the whirlpool, or in line to the wort main.
