Yeast Nutrient - 2 oz.

I have used this to help feed my various brewed beverages. It is a must have for the serious brewer. Don't need a lot just some. It doesn't have any unusual smell so that's good, just natural smells.

If you're making mead this is almost an absolute requirement. I recently got back into home brewing and was making a few 1 gallon brews or cider, mead and beer. I noticed the mead was not attaining a vigorous or even mildly active fermentation after a week. After this product arrived, I added a tsp into the 1 gallon batch of mead and within 12 hours noticed a significant change if fermentation with bubbles going from 1 every 6-8 seconds, to 1 every 2 seconds.Going forward I will be adding this to most if not all of my brews.

Product came in a small 2 ounce high quality hard double zip lock bag, which is not a problem at all idk why that would be if anything I like it more

add to make wine

So I ordered the 2 ounce version of the bottle. The package ended up arriving 3 days earlier than expected, much to my surprise, though it lead to a good deal of confusion as the product I relieved was not the exact one listed. Instead of receiving a bottle marked "LD Carlson Company" and "Contains Food Grade Urea and Diammonium Phosphate", I instead revived a resealable plastic bag marked "HomeBrewStuff" and with no mention of Food Grade Urea, only the Diammonium Phosphate. The bag is 2 ounces, just like the bottle. Now, for my uses, this shouldn't be a problem, but it was still not what I was expecting and could be an issue for buyers looking for something specific. Otherwise, I have no issues with the product. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I have yet to use it, so if it ends up affecting the taste of my brew negatively in a noticeable way, I'll add an edit to this review. That being said, I'm not too worried about it. It seems like a good product, even if it's not exactly what I ordered.

First time using the Yeast Nutrient. Usually buy complete wine kits that have everything included. Now on to making 1 gallon wines which call out for Yeast Nutrient. First time I used it was for 1 gallon of Dandelion Wine. Right now Wine is in secondary stage of fermenting. Will have to find out in approx. 6 months when wine is ready to drink to see if it did the job.

Ample quantity to make several batches of homemade wine

I use this in conjunction with my stir plate when making a yeast starter for my beer brewing. This stuff definitely results in a more vigorous starter when I use it. I've forgotten to use it a few times and the difference is noticeable. The bottle is small and you use a really small amount for starters. If you use to much you can run into other issues.
