A nitrogen source commonly used to help promote yeast health. Brewers use Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) to increase the production and growth of yeast used for fermenting. Works great with white wines and meads as well, providing natural nutrients that might be missing.

DAP in Beer Making:

How much DAP should I add to beer?

• Barely a pinch is all that should be added to a yeast starter.

DAP in Winemaking:

DAP is the main source of added nitrogen in wine fermentations and is the primary ingredient in Yeast Energizer. During fermentation, the wine yeast will utilize the nitrogen of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) to keep a strong fermentation going. Wine yeast needs nitrogen to work.

How much Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) should I add to wine?

• Let the fermentation start on its own.
• Add 1/2 gram per gallon (1/2 tsp per 5 gallons) of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) Yeast Nutrient to the must. More can be added if the fermentation slows.
