Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is a widely used and trusted yeast nutrient that plays a critical role in creating healthy, vigorous fermentations. Whether you're making mead, wine, cider, or other fermented beverages, DAP provides a fast-acting source of free amino nitrogen (FAN), helping yeast cells multiply quickly and work more efficiently throughout the fermentation process.

Many fruit juices and honey-based musts are naturally deficient in nitrogen, especially mead, and without supplementation, yeast can struggle, leading to sluggish or stuck fermentations, off-flavors, or stalled batches. DAP is a simple but powerful way to ensure your yeast has the fuel it needs to thrive.

Why Use DAP?

  • Speeds up the start of fermentation by promoting yeast cell growth
  • Prevents common issues like stuck or sluggish fermentations
  • Improves flavor outcomes by reducing stress on yeast
  • Essential for meads, fruit wines, and ciders low in nitrogen

Recommended Usage:

Add 0.5 - 1.5 grams per gallon of must or juice at the beginning of fermentation. For best results, use a digital scale to measure accurately. One 2 oz (56.7 g) bag can treat approximately 15 - 30 gallons depending on your dosage rate.

Product Specs:

  • Net weight: 2 oz (56.7 g)
  • Appearance: Fine white crystalline powder
  • Solubility: Easily dissolves in must or water
  • Use in: Mead, wine, cider, and other fermentations

Perfect for homebrewers and winemakers looking to produce clean, consistent results, DAP is a must-have nutrient for any serious fermentation toolkit.
