So my Homebrew Supply store is over an hour away, and I’m out of yeast nutrients.
I’m hoping to find something available at the local grocery story.
I have one friend that always uses bread yeast he microwaves to kill it before adding live yeast as his nutrients. (Equal parts dead yeast to live yeast) Maybe “Brewers Yeast” or nutritional yeast flakes from the health food/vegan section could do this without needing to microwave it?
Another thread I saw someone recommend tomato paste. But I’d imagine there is some flavor profile to that.
Another thread I found someone said they crush up vitamins. But didn’t say what vitamins or what quantities.
What are options/variants you know and have used in the past for yeast nutrient when you didn’t have any?
