Hey guys, I've got a question. What do you use for nutrients?
I've been reading Ken Schram's book, and on pages 54 and 55, he has a table with some formulas for rather optimal nutrients (determined by Morse and Steinkraus). He also mentions that FermaidK uses about the same formula. Does anyone use this? I'm curious if it works well.
I've been using the stuff from ID Carlson. The energizer seems to be about what Schram recommends, but not the nutrient. The nutrient has urea and ammonium phosphate. All Schram says about urea is that some mead and winemakers find it "objectionable". He doesn't even seem to mention ammonium phosphate.
