Yeast Vit

Yeast Vit is a formulated blend of organic salts, vitamins, amino acids and trace elements along with an approved organic source of nitrogen, designed to ensure correction of nutrient deficiencies in wort.

Benefits

-Improves rate of yeast growth.
-Prevents slow fermentations
-Useful in high / low nitrogen worts
-Concentrated in powder product, economical in use

Principle

Brewers yeast needs readily used sources of vitamins and trace elements. Deficiencies of such components can cause the following symptoms:

-Long lag phase
-High pH
-Sticking fermentations
-Poor finings

Application

Rates of Use: The product can be mixed into the yeast slurry about 30 minutes before pitching into the wort, or alternatively mixed with a small volume of wort and added to the fermenter. It can also be added to the kettle at the end of the boil.
Yeast Vit should be added at a rate of between 3.5g and 8.5 g per hectolitre of wort. A Suitable starting rate would be 5g per hectolitre.

A high rate may be required for a short period, after which the rate of addition can be significantly reduced. With regular use, low rates can be effective in preventing nutrient deficiencies.
