Wine yeast nutrient; used for beer too?

[inhousebrew]

I recently brewed up a few batches of wine and bought a yeast supplement from Northern Brewer

It says it’s for wine but can it be used for beer too? Would they be the same ingredients? Anyone know?

I’ve wondered the same thing. Good question.

The wine yeast nutrient contains Di-ammonium Phosphate and is nothing more than a nitrogen supplement. It will boost your Free Amino Nitrogen levels 258 ppm when used at a rate of 1tsp per gal. However, yeast nutrient such as the Wyeast Nutrient Blend is a more complete dietary supplement. It a mixture of Di-ammonium Phosphate, vitamins, minerals, and other trace elements.

Great, that’s what I was looking for. Thanks
