Food & Nutrition Applications
Principle

A source of vitamins and trace elements and inorganic nitrogen to avoid fermentation problems such as long lag phase, high pH, sticking fermentations and poor fining performance.

Application And Rates Of Use

This product can be mixed into the yeast slurry about 30 minutes before pitching. Alternatively, mix with a small volume of wort and add to the fermenter. This product can also be added to the kettle at the end of the boil. Alcotene Special should be added at a rate of 0.85g to 3.5 g per hl of wort.
