Nutromix Tablets contain a carefully balanced blend of nutrients and trace elements formulated to correct nutrient deficiencies in wort.
Benefits
Improves rate of yeast growth.
Prevents slow fermentations
Useful in high / low nitrogen worts
Each tablet is a standard weight for ease of use
Principle
Brewers yeast needs readily used sources of nutrients and trace elements. Deficiencies of such components can cause the following symptoms:
Long lag phase
High pH
Sticking fermentations
Poor finings
Application and Rates of Use
Due to the unique nature of different yeast strains and the constraints of the production process the requirements for Nutromix tablets are varied. It is advised that trials are carried out to determine the precise usage rate. This normally lies in the range of 5 to 10 tablets per 10 barrel brew. A high rate may be required for a short period, after which the rate of addition can be significantly reduced. With regular use, low rates can be effective in preventing nutrient deficiencies. Addition of quantities in large excess of this may exceed the permitted limits for zinc and manganese.
Nutromix tablets should be added wither to the kettle during boiling or to the hot wort prior to cooling. Nutromix tablets may be added to cold wort but will take much longer to dissolve. If Nottingham Ale Yeast is used the product should NOT be mixed with the yeast whilst it is being reconstituted.
