quick yeast question

[bappel]

Can I use debittered brewers yeast in place of yeast nutirent.

if it calls for 6 tsb of yeast nutrient can I use 6 tsb of debittered brewers yeast?

thank you in advance

[Mazriam]

I looked up what debittered brewers yeast is, how it's debittered, and the side effects of debittering.

I'm gonna guess, and say no.

Looks like it would work fine as a nutrient. Might be less expensive to use tomato paste, cereal or bulk bought baker's yeast as a nutrient, though.

Yes, you get pretty much the same benefits using bakers yeast, just boil a few grams in a cup or 2 of water to deactivate/kill the yeast and add it to your fermenter. You can strain it or add the liquid and all. It's much more complete b vitamins than tomato paste.

Thank you all.

I have a birdwatchers going with tomato paste but want to as well get a hard lemonade going and dont want to add tomato paste to that. Was hoping I could use the debittered brewers yeast in the lemonade since the recipe I will be using called for 6tsb yeast nutrient.

I can get bulk debittered for pennies which was making me lean towards it if it was an acceptable nutrient.

That is a blended drink. Maybe need to back up a bit.

I'll be making a wine so to speak, no distillation for the lemonade.

sorry for confusion.

Hi
Why don't you post the recipe you have in mine and I know you will be helped. The brewers yeast you are referencing is a neut for us right people? It does help the yeasts b vits in the wash but they need more.

hi

[bappel]

3 bottles of 32 oz 100% lemon juice
7 lbs sugar (or 16 cups) to ferment
3/4 tsp tannin
6 tsp. yeast nutrient (3 now, 3 later)
2 tsp. yeast energizer (1 now, 1 later)
Approx, 4 1/2 gallons water
Yeast Slurry
Potassium metabisulfite (Kmeta)
Potassium sorbate (sorbate)


that's the recipe.

hoping to have it going for the weekend if I can figure this out haha.

[acfixer69]

Thanks for posting the recipe it will help. The first thing I see is your ph is going to be so low the yeasts are going to hate it in there and if they start will check out early. I hope the big guys will fix this if I'm wrong.

AC

even with the potassium added seams acidic

[bappel]

Yes the yeasts do check out early. You add the second set of nutrients and energizer when you rack the first time.

really hoping I can pull this off for the misses

[acfixer69]

Let me/us know its a wine thing I guess. I never tried wine.

AC

[bappel]

I'll for sure let you know....ill start a topic when I get it going. Might try two. One with debittered and another with some other nutrient, see how it goes.

if you had to recommend a nutrient for this what would it be?
keeping in mind you don't distill this off and drink the "wash" we will say.

[heartcut]

My guess would be:
1 ea Vitamin B-50 pill, crushed
1T Calcium Carbonate powder (or more, to pH <= 5.2)
1T DAP
1T boiled yeast
all at the beginning of the ferment

[SiyaD]

Yes,Brewer's Yeast is an excellent source of protein and several B-vitamins. It is produced by cultivation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on malted barley in the production of beer. After fermentation, the yeast is seperated from the beer, roller dried and debittered.
