Summary

Being a living organism, yeast requires nutrients in order to ferment healthily. While many nutrients are naturally present in wort, others are deficient, which is why some brewers choose to add some themselves. In this episode, Marshall sits down with contributor Cade Jobe to discuss the various types of yeast nutrients, how they're purported to impact beer, and the results of an xBmt on the subject.  The Brülosophy Podcast is brought to you by Imperial Yeast who provide brewers with the most viable and fresh yeast on the market.
