nutrient

Hi all! First time post, and research for my first mead. I have been using wlp English style cider yeast for brewing cider and plan on collecting and reusing the cider yeast potentially for a Mead/pyment. Has anyone here had any experience using 775 for a mead? After using it for a bit I’m...

Hi guys, So Im making my own yeast nutrients. Someone suggested I add some yeast to a pot of boiling water for 15min to kill it, then dry it and add it into my DAP for yeast nutrients. I wanted to know, do I have to use Distillers yeast then kill it/active yeast. Or can I use the far cheaper...

Before I found this site, I just used somebody's links to buy some of the 'stuff' I/we use for cider. Now after cruising this site, I've found that there's a few variants for some of these ingredients. The nutrient I ended up with is (and I'll massacre the spelling) Dimonium Phoshphate. Is...

For this batch I used Fermaid K in my beer. I added it 15 min prior to the end of the boil. I haven’t read about anyone doing this so I wanted to know if its at all beneficial or it could of messed something up?

My husband and I are attempting our second batch of Hard Cider and something is wrong. Apparently we didn't learn from the first one we tried. Recipe: 2 1/3c local clover honey Apple Juice (no preservatives) to top up a gallon. 1/4tsp Vinter's Harvest CY17 yeast All in a glass jug...

I'm fairly new to brewing beer and now trying my hand at meads now. I've been doing a lot of reading here and elsewhere before I make my first batch. I want to try staggard yeast nutrient additions. When you add your staged nutrients with the last addition near the midway point in the...
