What are the nitrogen requirements for this yeast?
Nikolai Colton on Jan 31, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I always use the SNA (Staggered Nutrient Addition) schedule. So no yeast nutrients at pitching. Create a mixture of 1 tsp. Fermaid-K & 2 tsp. DAP. Then for a 3-gal batch
Day1: Add3/8 tsp. when making the must
3/8 tsp. 24 hours after fermentation begins
3/8 tsp. 48 hours after fermentation begins
3/8 tsp. when 30% of the sugar has been fermented (~1 week)
Yeast Nutrient - Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)

Sweet Mead for Blackberry Wine
Found an awesome recipe for Blackberry wine that called for sweet mead. I was not aware that it should have had an ice pack and should have been refrigerated, as the envelope says. That being said, I followed the recipe, added the mead at room temp, and had fermentation start shortly thereafter and still going strong a week later. Obviously, it was not a problem.

more expensive and more preparation requirements. Not sure what went wrong my mead did not ferment.(main reason for 1 star) this was my 2nd batch of mead. I have been brewing all grain beers for years and this was The first time I had yeast issues.

Response from MoreFlavor
Sorry to hear about the trouble you had with the fermentation. Mead can be really tricky, especially if you're going for a high gravity. Once important step that may help is shaking or swirling the carboy to degas the fermentation during the first two weeks. The substrate can get really thick and not let out the CO2 which will stunt the yeast. The other important thing to check on is the pH range to make sure you are firmly in the 3-4 range. If you're doing all of these things then there might be some problems with the yeast nutrients. Hope this information helps for your next couple batches. Cheers!
