Description

Diammonium Phosphate Yeast Nutrient (DAP) Boost Fermentation Health with DAP. Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is a trusted yeast nutrient that provides an essential source of nitrogen for healthy and vigorous fermentation. Perfect for wine, mead, cider, or beer, DAP helps prevent sluggish fermentations and off-flavors by giving yeast the nutrients they need to thrive. Brewing Notes Use Rate: ½ – ¾ gram per gallon Purpose: Nitrogen source to promote yeast health Form: White crystalline powder Package Size: 1 lb (454 g) resealable bag Why Use Diammonium Phosphate? Nitrogen Support: Supplies Free Amino Nitrogen (FAN) for yeast growth. Wine & Mead Fermentations: Essential for musts low in natural nutrients. Beer Brewing: Helpful in high-adjunct or sugar-heavy fermentations. Prevents Stuck Fermentation: Reduces the risk of stalled yeast activity. Usage Tips Dissolve DAP in a small amount of warm water or must before adding. For wine/mead, often used in combination with other yeast nutrients for a balanced profile. Avoid overuse; excess nitrogen can stress yeast and affect flavor. Tasting Impact While DAP itself does not contribute flavors, it enables a cleaner fermentation by keeping yeast active and reducing the risk of sulfur-like off-aromas caused by nutrient deficiencies.
