I'd use the prenatal vitamins for nutrients
Don't forget some boiled yeast to add to it.
That's the best yeast nutrient made :wink:

Just use some yeast energizer.. or anything similar to Fermaid.. way better than any B vit..

It's about water used for brewing beer

That will give you plenty of vitamins etc but you still need a nitrogen source.
Boiled yeast, Dap, or even a high nitrogen fertilizer. The sodium is not ideal. If you have any Epsom salts a pinch will give you magnesium
