Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is an essential yeast nutrient that supplies nitrogen and phosphorus during fermentation, promoting vigorous yeast activity and complete sugar conversion. This high-purity formulation enables strong initial fermentation, prevents stuck fermentations, and helps you avoid off-flavors caused by nutrient deficiencies during fermentation. Ideal for wine, mead, cider, and spirit production, DAP ensures healthy yeast populations and consistent results.
Add according to your recipe or use between 0.5 and 2 grams per gallon to aid yeast, depending on the fermentation base. This is a simple nutrient, not a comprehensive regimen, like Yeastex, which may be necessary for high-gravity (high ABV potential) straight sugar fermentation, as there will be no vitamins or nutrients from your malt or ingredients.
A rough approximation for converting a DAP measurement to weight is 1 teaspoon (tsp) = 3.1 grams. I recommend using a scale to weigh the product for accurate dosing.
