Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend

Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend

Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients essential for an orderly and complete fermentation. It has been the preferred nutrient addition for professional and hobby winemakers, cidermakers, and meadmakers for over three decades.

During the cell growth and metabolization of sugars that takes place in every fermentation, yeast cells require an array of trace elements, vitamins, and compounds that can be assimilated from their environment in order to carry out their basic functions of life. However, grape musts and other fruit fermentations are often deficient in several of these nutrients, and honey-based fermentations are deficient in many. Nutrient deficiency can lead to disrupted or incomplete fermentations, off-flavors and aromas, and diminished stability of the finished wine, cider, or mead.

Supplementing your juice or must with Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend helps ensure high viability and health of your yeast population, which in turn helps ensure a rapid, complete, and successful fermentation with repeatable results.

Dosage Rate: 0.75 lb/1000 gallons (8.9 g/hL) of juice or must. Provides approximately 11.5 ppm measurable YAN.

Usage Instructions for Wine: Use during propagation of yeast prior to fermentation, and/or at the beginning of fermentation. Dissolve in warm water prior to adding to juice or must.

Usage Instructions for Cider: Use during propagation of yeast prior to fermentation, and/or at the beginning of fermentation. Dissolve in warm water prior to adding to juice.

Usage Instructions for Mead: Dissolve in warm water prior to adding to must. Divide total volume evenly, each portion to be added over several days. Add to must after pitching yeast, and over the next several days as determined by your nutrient addition plan. Degassing must between nutrient additions may be necessary.

Stability: 1 year, stored in airtight container in cool environment

Usage Instructions for Wine: Dissolve Wyeast Nutrient in warm water prior to adding to juice or must

Usage Instructions for Cider: Dissolve Wyeast Nutrient in warm water prior to adding to juice

Usage Instructions for Mead: Dissolve Wyeast Nutrient in warm water prior to adding to must. Divide total volume evenly, each portion to be added over several alternating days. Add to must after pitching yeast, and over the next several days as determined by your nutrient addition plan. Degassing between nutrient addition days may be necessary to prevent foaming over.
