Fermax Yeast Nutrient - 2 oz.
Fermax Yeast Nutrient – 2 oz
Fuel Powerful Fermentations with Complete Nutrient Support
Fermax Yeast Nutrient is a high-performance nutrient blend designed to support fast, clean, and complete fermentations in beer, mead, wine, cider, and other fermented beverages. Whether you're brewing a high-gravity beer or fermenting a traditional mead, Fermax helps yeast perform under stress, prevents sluggish or stuck ferments, and promotes a clean flavor profile from start to finish. This essential tool belongs in every homebrewer’s and winemaker’s fermentation toolkit.
Why Use Fermax in Brewing?
Most fermentation media—especially high-sugar musts and worts—lack the complete nutrition yeast need to thrive. Without proper nutrients, yeast can become stressed, producing off-flavors or halting fermentation altogether. Fermax solves this problem by delivering a balanced combination of:
- Diammonium Phosphate (DAP): Supplies nitrogen to jump-start fermentation.
- Yeast Hulls: Detoxify the must and promote healthy reproduction.
- Magnesium Sulfate: Supports enzymatic activity and cell wall strength.
- B-Vitamins: Help yeast metabolize sugars efficiently and reduce lag time.
Recommended Usage Instructions
Fermax is simple to use and highly effective:
- Standard Use: Add 1 teaspoon (approximately 4 grams) per gallon at the beginning of fermentation.
- High-Gravity or Mead Fermentation: Split the dose over the first 2–3 days (e.g., staggered nutrient addition) to prevent osmotic shock and promote a steady ferment.
- How to Add: Mix directly into your cooled wort or must prior to pitching yeast. It dissolves quickly and won't affect clarity.
This 2 oz (56 g) container is enough to treat up to 12 gallons of fermentable liquid—making it a smart, cost-effective addition to any batch.
Perfect For:
- Beer (especially lagers and high-ABV ales)
- Mead and melomels
- Fruit wines and grape wines
- Cider and perry
- Kombucha and experimental ferments
Prevent Off-Flavors and Stuck Fermentations
Using a quality yeast nutrient like Fermax reduces the risk of incomplete fermentations, sulfur off-aromas, and inconsistent attenuation. Yeast with proper nutrition finishes stronger, flocculates better, and expresses cleaner flavor notes across all fermentation styles.
