How much is the Wyeast nutrient? Maybe I should give it another try.
It's good to hear this experience Joe.Does anyone know if there have been any studies at UC Davis or Siebel on the effect of Zinc and Magnesium on yeast health and development? I know that Wyeast recommends adding nutrients to support yeast development. I haven't done any side-by side blind tastings but I do take Wyeasts recommendation in confidence.
Reinheitsgebot, was a tax law that defined what beer was so it could properly be taxed. Hey, we don't pay any tax on homebrew!

To answer the yeast suppliment question, I use 1/2 of a 15 mg tab for a 10 gallon batch.As to research/data on Zinc and yeast health, I remember this one.http://www.ahaconference.org/wp-content/uploads/presentations/2009/Tobias-Fischborn-NHC2009-Yeast%20nutrition.pdf
