I am making my first starter and was wondering about adding yeast nutrient. During wort boiling or when I pitch the yeast. I was thinking that the nutrient should be boiled just like the wort so it is sterilized but, would boiling kill any helpful nutrients? If I add it to the cooled wort am I likely to add contaminants that haven't been sterilized?
The stuff is Fermax Yeast Nutrient by Crosby and Baker, Ltd. I bought at local homebrew supplier.
Thanks in advance.

Youll want to boil the stuff for 15 minutes with the rest of your starter wort!

That's what I've always done. Yeast haven't complained.

I pressure can extra wort to use for starters.  Before canning, I always add yeast nutrient.  Pressure canning boils the heck out of it and the nutrient still makes a noticable difference so it would seem the temps don't hurt it.

Thanks for the info. i will put the nutrient in with the extract for boiling.
