Wyeast 1.5 oz Wine Yeast Nutrient Blend – Enhance Fermentation Health

Wyeast Wine Yeast Nutrient Blend | 1.5 oz

Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is made for wine, cider, and mead fermentations where juice, fruit, or honey may not provide enough yeast nutrition on its own. Wyeast lists the blend as vitamins, minerals, inorganic nitrogen, organic nitrogen, zinc, phosphates, and trace elements for healthier fermentation.

This nutrient is especially useful for fruit wine, cider, and mead, where nutrient deficiencies can contribute to sluggish fermentation, incomplete fermentation, sulfur aromas, or inconsistent results.

Use rate and timing

• Homebrew dosage: 1/2 tsp, about 2.2 g, per 5 gallons of juice or must.
• Wine and cider: dissolve in warm water before adding to juice or must.
• Mead: dissolve in warm water and divide the total amount across several additions according to your nutrient plan. Degas between additions if needed to prevent foaming.
• Storage: keep sealed in an airtight container in a cool environment.

When it helps most

Grape must can vary in nutrient content, and honey-based fermentations are naturally low in yeast-assimilable nitrogen. Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is a practical way to give yeast a more complete nutrient environment when making wine, cider, mead, fruit wine, or similar fermentations.
