The Boil Takes Its Toll
We all know that boiling vegetables for a long time depletes the nutrients and destroys the vitamins.
The same happens with boiling wort. We try to mitigate this by adding nutrients hot side which has a limited impact. But there are an array of essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids that simply do not survive the boiling!
The solution Cold side nutrient boost
Scientifically formulated and laboratory tested. Our sterile Nutrient Booster range are designed for ease of use.
Whether you are looking at replacing lost Zinc or replacing the essential vitamins and amino acids lost during wort boiling we have you covered.
Cold-side zinc supplementation ensures the yeast receives an immediate boost of bioavailable zinc and vitamins, exactly when it needs it most.
The role of Zinc in Brewing?
- Zinc is critical for yeast metabolism, cell growth, and stress resistance.
- Zinc boosts yeast metabolism for faster, more efficient fermentations
- Expect fermentation to finish 1-2 days sooner.
- Free up tanks faster and increase production capacity.
- Zinc supports strong, healthy yeast—leading to clean, crisp fermentations.
- Reduces off-flavors and stuck fermentations.
- Improves attenuation and final product stability.
- Zinc supports essential enzymes, including alcohol dehydrogenase, which drives yeast’s metabolic processes, enabling efficient sugar conversion. (Jones et al., 2008)
- Zinc enhances the yeast’s ability to withstand higher alcohol concentrations, making it indispensable for high-gravity brews. (Stehlik et al., 2012)
The role of Vitamins in Brewing
| Role in Fermentation | Effect of Loss |
|---|---|
|
Yeast growth and alcohol production |
Sluggish fermentation and incomplete attenuation |
|
Fatty acid synthesis and cell wall integrity |
Reduce yeast viability and poor fermentation |
|
Yeast metabolism and coenzyme A production |
Increased production of off-flavors |
|
Redox reactions in yeast metabolism |
Fermentation delays and poor yeast health |
|
Amino acid metabolism and protein synthesis |
Reduce yeast vitality and fermentation speed |
|
Involved in energy production and yeast growth |
Impair yeast growth and reduce longevity |
Pairing Zinc and vitamin
booster
- Yeast requires a balance of vitamins and minerals to perform optimally.
- Combining zinc supplementation with a comprehensive yeast nutrient blend ensures yeast receives all the building blocks needed for fast, clean, and reliable fermentations.
- Combine our Zinc and vitamin booster to ensures the yeast receives an immediate boost of bioavailable nutrients exactly when it needs it most.
Nutrient Application
Lagers
The clean, crisp profile of lagers relies on healthy yeast. Zinc supplementation ensures strong yeast performance for these low-temperature fermentations
(De Nicola et al., 2009).
High-Gravity Beers
From imperial stouts to Triple IPAs, high-gravity beers stress yeast.
Zinc boosts their resilience and prevents incomplete attenuation
(Stehlik et al., 2012).
Yeast Propagation
For brewers reusing yeast, zinc ensures the harvested yeast remains healthy and viable for successive brews
(Walker et al., 2006).
Pro Tips for Using Nutrient Booster
Calculate Your Dosage Size
Our 250ml, 500ml or 1L bottle of zinc cover all fermenter sizes. For high-gravity beers, double the amount add for a standard ale (Jones et al., 2008).
Timing is Key
Add our zinc booster in-line as the fermenter is being filled for even distribution.
Pair with Yeast Nutrients
Combine with a complete yeast nutrient blend for maximum performance.
Pricing works out to be less than 1 cent per L of beer produced.
