Yeast - Nutrient (Superfood) 8oz

Superfood is a complete yeast nutrient. By stimulating yeast growth and survival, it can significantly reduce stuck fermentations. Research reveals that the best yeast food is not a single nitrogen source, but a combination of ingredients. Superfood contains yeast hulls, yeast extracts, vitamins, and minerals. The yeast hulls provide sterols and survival factors and adsorb toxic fatty acids, particularly decanoic acid, which tends to inhibit yeast growth. Diammonium phosphate is a basic nitrogen source and helps prevent Hydrogen Sulfide production. Superfood is not implicated in urethane (ethyl carbamate) formation. Yeast extracts contain amino acids, making them a rich food source, and vitamins and minerals, which are essential to vigorous yeast growth. Together these ingredients create an excellent, balanced nutrient for yeast. Superfood is recommended for both grape and non-grape musts, cider and beer. It is especially useful for musts that have a history of sluggish fermentation or Hydrogen Sulfide production. Superfood is most effective in preventing stuck fermentations when added with yeast inoculation. It may also be added once fermentation starts to help prevent Hydrogen Sulfide formation. Superfood is certified Kosher, except Passover.
