Tomato paste and or Yeast Nutrient

[Hardcider]

Ok...I've read and read and I still dont quite understand. Is the tomato paste suppose to be a replacement for yeast nutrient or an addition to the yeast nutrient? Please help me out!

Tomato paste is added to provide nutrients for the yeast, as well as to lower the pH somewhat (yeast prefer a specific range of acidic enviroments). Other appropriate sources of acidity and nutrients accomplish the same thing, listed in the link above.

I agree, So if you have trouble with stalled ferments due to low PH, nutrients of some sort would be the way to go.

Nutrients and pH are two separate issues.
