Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need yeast nutrient?

For fruit, flower and other non-grape wines, meads and ciders, yes - they lack the nutrients yeast needs. Malt-based beer kits usually have enough already.

How much do I use?

1 level teaspoon per gallon (4.5 litres), stirred into the must with or just before the yeast.

Will more make it ferment faster?

No - stick to the dose. Too much can leave off-flavours.
