It's a yeast energizer. Like Servomyces(sp?). It's yeast hulls (dead yeast) and some other ingredients to speed up fermentation.
They're 1.09/ea or 6 for 5.99

Not sure it's worth it if you're getting decent fermentations without it, but if you try it let us know how it turns out.

I use it for peace of mind in a starter. Only need a 'pinch' so it lasts forever.
WARNING: do not add to boiling wort in a starter! It turns an Erlymeyer flask into a glass volcano!

I've poured boiling wort into a flask a billion times, and then promptly dunked it in an ice bath to cool it.
Never had it volcano.
I think he's talking about ading more wort (when it's boiling) to a starter

No, not just adding the wort, I'm talking about adding the powder yeast nutrient to a boiling flask of work makes the vocano.
