Review on BSG 849731002187 Fermax Yeast Nutrient by Angela Jackson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well! good for home brewing and winemaking

Pretty amazing stuff. We just couldn't make 6 gallons of blueberry wine (DC 1090). We even used 2 packs of Lalvin 1118 and still almost nothing happened. After about 9 days we added 1 teaspoon per gallon of this yeast nutrient and within a few hours it started bubbling in the airlock. 24 hours later and it's getting crazy! There was also a 1-gallon batch of blackberries that were slow chugging. a bubble or two in the sluice every few minutes. Hang around 1.020 for about 2 weeks. Add 1/2 teaspoon and fermentation seems to have resumed. That seems to be exactly what our wine needs.

Pros
  • Sturdy finish
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
