Nutrition – Moving Beyond DAP

Joseph Kalkwarf, Craft Distilling Manager, N.A. Lallemand Biofuels & Distilled Spirits
Nutrition is widely accepted as being needed not only for a successfully completed fermentation but just as important the sensory precursors for distillation. What is actually required by the yeast to make this happen is perhaps not understood as well as the acceptance indicates. This presentation will dive into nutrients moving beyond simple nitrogen additions and packaged nutrient approaches looking at both improving fermentation performance and perhaps enhancing sensory proles. Attendees should expect to gain better understanding of why nutrition is important, what can be added, how it can be added, and where/when to ideally add to best target what the distiller is trying to accomplish.
