Distiller's Nutrients
Brewhaus Distiller's Nutrients are packed in a resealable oxygen barrier container, as the nutrients are hygroscopic (they pull moisture from the air), harming the ingredients and lowering their performance.
What's in Brewhaus Distiller’s Nutrients?
Manufactured by Brewhaus, our Distiller's Nutrients are a proprietary blend of minerals, micro and macro nutrients, vitamins, pH buffers, and more, that are found in a quality Turbo Yeast, and were developed for us by one of the world's most recognized Turbo Yeast developers.
Why do we offer this mix as opposed to straight distiller’s yeast?
Quite simply, bulk distiller’s yeast is intended for large distilleries, where their in-house labs can properly combine the necessary nutrients, minerals, vitamins, etc., that the yeast needs, based on the specific deficiencies in a given mash. Recently, the homebrew market has seen this yeast as a cheap alternative to Turbo Yeast, simply based on the name “Distiller’s Yeast”. And unfortunately, many resellers offer bulk distiller’s yeast (often in 1lb. packs) without the in-depth knowledge or nutrient complex needed to fulfill the yeasts' requirements. This has created a need for proper nutrition in order to best get the yeast through the fermentation process. While different yeast strains, different mashes, temperature during fermentation, etc., all create different nutritional requirements, there is a baseline to go by that will work across the board, with a minimum of problems. Our Distiller’s Nutrients will help avoid nutritional shortages, and basically turn your bulk distiller’s yeast into a generic turbo yeast. While this is not optimal, and certainly no replacement for a good quality Turbo Yeast, it is far better than the alternative!
What's the difference between Brewhaus Distiller's Nutrient and other products such as Yeast Nutrient or Yeast Energizer?
In a nutshell, our Distiller's Nutrient offers a more complete set of nutrients than Yeast Nutrient, which is usually just diammonium phosphate, or Yeast Energizer, which is usually simply yeast nutrient with the addition of vitamin B. This is important because when yeast is shorted on its nutritional requirements, it is stressed. When yeast is stressed, it produces byproducts instead of just alcohol when converting sugar. Not only does this result in a ‘stinky’ and ‘foul tasting’ fermented wash, but every bit of sugar that was turned into byproducts was not converted into alcohol. Hence, you will not only get a bad smelling and tasting wash, but you will lose out on alcohol from fermentation. This is a drastic improvement over simply using Yeast Nutrient, Yeast Energizer, or Joe’s ‘add this and it’ll work’.
