Description
Servomyces 500 g – biological zinc yeast nutrient from Lallemand
Servomyces is a naturally zinc-enriched single-strain brewing yeast, from the Hefebank Weihenstephan, used as a biological yeast nutrient. The yeast takes up essential nutrients into its cell structure, while Servomyces provides a high concentration of zinc, which is essential for a healthy alcoholic fermentation. Minerals bound in living tissue are taken up more easily by yeast than minerals added as salts.
Please note: This product is only available in Norway.
The 500 g pack is for breweries and others brewing large volumes.

Frequently asked questions about Servomyces
How much Servomyces should I use?
1 g per 100 litres of wort for fermentation and 2 g per 100 litres for propagation. 500 g therefore covers very large volumes.
When is Servomyces added?
To the kettle, about 10 minutes before the end of the boil.
Why does a yeast nutrient contain yeast?
Servomyces is inactive yeast that has taken up a lot of zinc during production. The zinc is bound in the yeast cells and is taken up more easily by the live yeast in the wort than zinc added as a salt.
Is Servomyces available in a smaller pack?
Yes. For home brewing there is Servomyces 10 g.
