Fermax Yeast Nutrient
justinrice1127:
I bought some Crosby & Baker Fermax Yeast Nutrient and on the bottle it recommends to use 1 tsp per gal, however I've been told to only use 1 tsp per 5 gal. Which is correct?
Also, at what point in the boil is it best to add it?
hopfenundmalz:
Does the it say 1 tsp/gallon of must. That would be the wine dosage.
For beer maybe a 1/2 to 1 tsp towards the end of the boil.
mtnrockhopper:
I don't think it specifies must/wort, but it is sold for both. I'd agree 1tsp/gallon is a lot. Unless they've added some filler, which I doubt, I'd go with 1tsp/5gal. Wine must has fewer nutrients than wort, which is why you'd use less.

Yeah, it doesn't specify must/wort on the bottle. I'll go with 1 tsp/5 gal. Thanks!
Adding at the end of the boil.....like w/in the last 15 min, 10 min, or 5 min?

Any would be fine, use 5 if you wish.
