What do I do with this yeast fuel?

So how are your batches going? Keep me posted.

I'm going to try this stuff (as well as the Wyeast nutrient) out when I order my next round of kits during the next sale.

Forrest,

I bought the starter kit from yall recently (I love it). Anyway, the starter kit came with the Yeast Nutrient. I made the starter with it and everything worked great. I neglected to throw in the Yeast Fuel capsule when I brewed. Is it still necessary when I make the starter? Fermentation kicked off great. I just wanted to know if it was best to use both.


Thanks,

I'd still like to know what's in it, where does it come from, etc. Are the ingredients a company secret?

Strange, I wonder why they included it in the kit. It's an Austin kit.

If it is a high gravity beer (above 1.055 to 1.065+) - they would have. I would say use it in the last 10 minutes of the boil.

Anyone else need a sample of Yeast Fuel?

Could you add the fuel in after pitching, say 3-4 days later? I've got a HG sitting in the primary that I'm a little worried about. If so, I'll definetely try it.
