How much yeast energizer for a starter?

[ekjohns]

i am making a starter and i have some ld carlson yeast energize (DAP, Yeast Hulls, Magnesium sulphate, Vitamin B) that i would like to add. The directions say 1/2 tsp per 5 gal of wine. my starter is 1.4 L. Does anyone know how much to add? I was thinking 1/8 tsp since thats the smallest measuring spoon i have

How big is the starter? I'd say a pinch or a 1/2 pinch because that's my smallest unit of measure.

 

[DrawTap88]

1/8 of a tsp in a 1L starter.

i did 1/8 tsp in 1.4 L starter. Is it possible to add too much?

 

[Warped04]

Probably, but DrawTap gave you a more scientific answer with 1/8tsp in a 1L starter and you did 1/8tsp in a 1.4L, so I'm sure you are fine.

With or without if you are making a starter I'm sure your yeast will multiply enough in the dme you add to make enough cells to populate your beer. Especially if you put the nutrient in the boil.

i wasnt planning on putting any nutrients in the boil. should I? I feel like a read something that said yeast starters are where the yeast nutrients really help. I want the happiest yeast in my beer cause I have had some beers go bad cause my yeast were stressed. so i wont rule it out.

I add yeast nutrients during he last 10 or so minutes of the boil. Montanaandy
