I will start with my " Yeast Bomb "
2 vitamin B, crushed with mortor and pestal
5 teaspoons of 20-0-0, agrcultural fertalizer
1/4 teaspoon of epsom salt
1/4 cup bakers yeast
1 gallon water
Boil all for 15 minutes and strain.
I do all my own stunts

you can call it diamonium phosphate if it makes you feel better - it is a common yeast nutrient, one of the things that is packed into turbos.
