In Focus: Servomyces
Servomyces Yeast Nutrient
Servomyces is a nutritional yeast supplement  (GMO free) that was
originally developed for German brewers by Weihenstephan and Munich
University. It conforms to the restrictions of Reinheitsgebot.
Servomyces enables any yeast strain's ability to incorporate
essential nutrients into its cellular structure. Tested in breweries
around the world, it has been proven to::
- Cuts down fermentation time
- Increase flocculation
- Greatly reduce harsh sulphur notes
- Improve the health and viability of yeast.
- Reduce levels of diacetyl at the end of primary
fermentation
- Produce faster, more complete attenuations
- Increase yeast production for a better harvest
- Improve the quality of the finished product
For commercial brewers, Servomyces is available in 20 packs of 10
grams or 500 gram packages. For homebrewers, Servomyces is available
in blister packs of six capsules, each of which can be used for a
5-gallon batch (20 to 25L). Servomyces is beneficial to beer, wine,
mead and cider.
(Homebrew notes: Add 1 capsule 10 minutes prior to the end of the
boil. OR, If your fermentation does not require a boil, open the
capsule and pour in the Servomyces, since the capsule requires
boiling to melt).
Other Nutrients:
Other nutrients sold by White Labs Inc. include:
Fermaid K
Fermaid K is a
blended complex yeast nutrient that supplies ammonia salts (DAP),
alpha amino nitrogen (derived from yeast extract), sterols,
unsaturated fatty acids, key nutrients (magnesium sulfate, thiamin,
folic acid, niacin, biotin, calcium pantothenate) and inactive
yeast. Fermaid K should be hydrated before adding to an active
fermentation to avoid CO2
release and overflowing of tanks or barrels. It is available in 10
kg boxes and 2.5 kg bags.

Re: Servomyces and WLN1000
Q. I am curious to know how your nutrient may differ from Servo?
That is what I use now, but since I hope to switch to White Labs
yeast exclusively in the future, I was wondering if the WL product
may be superior.
A. Our nutrient (WLN1000) has amino acids,
so if your wort is deficient in nitrogen, our nutrient helps a lot.
When trying to grow more yeast as done in propagation, our nutrient
can really help. But most of our customers use Servo.
It has a lot of usable zinc and zinc is a great
source of fermentation power. If that doesn't
work, it may be a nitrogen problem, and they try our nutrient.
