Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend
Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend is a custom blend of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients essential for an orderly and complete fermentation.
During the cell growth and metabolization of sugars that takes place in every fermentation, yeast cells require an array of trace elements, vitamins, and compounds that can be assimilated from their environment in order to carry out their basic functions of life. However, honey-based fermentations are deficient in many of these nutrients. Nutrient deficiency can lead to disrupted or incomplete fermentations, off-flavors and aromas, and diminished stability of the finished product.
Supplementing your must with Wyeast Wine Nutrient Blend helps ensure high viability and health of your yeast population, which in turn helps ensure a rapid, complete, and successful fermentation with repeatable results.

Use 10g per 5 litre / 1 gallon of homemade wine as finings for home winemaking.
Will not clear all hazes eg pectin hazes.
Highly absorbing, so protect from humidity & odours.

Rack your wine first. Add & vigorously stir in a 15 times larger amount of cooled boiled water (ie for 10g use 150ml water). Leave to swell for 6 hours, stirring from time to time. Then add to must and shake or mix through. Once wine has cleared (may take anywhere from a few hours to 2 weeks), rack wine leaving behind the sediment.
