Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) : 2 oz Bag
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.
