I Finally Found What I've Been Looking For:

And what was that, that the thread had that you were looking for..

That is very useful information about different nutrition and effect of those on speed and final ABV(also effective way for autolyzing baker yeast by fruit protease).

This information help me to find out best ratio of nutrition for getting high ABV fermentation

The thread is some years old, and never mention the important of fermentation temperature, and the Ph in all the so call test done, and all took for ever to finish..

Nutrient/ingredient in the proper portions is important, but yeast like just the right combination in nutrient, with the right temperature environment and acidity level..

You were provided with a list of ingredients that the yeast like and finish in a few days, and that has come about from formulating many batches over a 10 yr period, almost down to a science..

Just try the method provided, as I done 20% abv plus with bread yeast..

Fermaid o is organic (I use)
fermaid k isn't (I don't use)
Boiling bread yeast with a good pinch of Epsom salt will make a great nutrient, let me clarify...1 lbs of yeast, 1 quart h20, 1 tsp Epsom salt

Boil water with es, once at a boil add yeast and cut down the heat to a simmer. Continue to simmer for 15 minutes or boil down to reduce water volume.

Put in a mason jar and refrigerate.

Note☆ it's easier to measure if reduced to a paste.

How long can this last in the refrigerator? Can it be saved in the freezer?
I’ve done the above and seem to have a lot of nutrient now and only use 2tsp every 10-15days, thanks.
