MicroElements® Brew Powder & Tabs Nutrients
MicroElements Brew Powder and Brew Tabs Nutrients are a diverse blend of vitamins, minerals, polypeptides, and amino acids. They have been identified as essential precursors required to build yeast biomass, with 100% organic nitrogen, all compressed into a convenient tablet form. Gusmer Enterprises has been formulating fermentation nutrients for many years and has developed MicroElements Brewing Nutrients based on the latest fermentation research. These brewing nutrients are made with the highest quality, bioavailable ingredients for maximum assimilation by the yeast.
Unlike traditional yeast nutrient products, which contain a high percentage of inexpensive diammonium phosphate (DAP) and yeast hulls, MicroElements Brewing Nutrients do not contain DAP. Instead, our research team has found that our proprietary blend of pure vitamins, minerals, and yeast extract gives superior fermentation performance. Breweries enlisted in product testing noted better yeast flocculation, increased yeast viability, higher RDF’s, increased rates of fermentation, and positive sensory evaluation.
Brew Powder offers enhanced dosing precision and process control, allowing accurate measurement at any batch size and easy integration into automated systems. Brew Tabs provide a simple, low-dust, and convenient option ideal for breweries of any size. All ingredients in MicroElements Brewing Nutrient Tablets comply fully with the Adjunct Reference Manual published by the Beer Institute and adhere to the TTB standards. The product is non-GMO, BSE-free, and formulated in the USA under GMP-compliant conditions.
Key Features
- Easy-to-use tablet or powder format — simple to measure, weigh, and dose for any brewing application
- Improves fermentation performance, RDF%, ethanol production and batch-to-batch consistency — often at lower dosage rates than other complex nutrients
- Outperforms zinc-only additions by supplying a complete range of micronutrients for healthy yeast pitch after pitch
- Free from unneeded nitrogen sources, fillers or common allergens
- Formulated with zinc, a critical cofactor for alcohol dehydrogenase that supports efficient fermentation, prevents acetaldehyde buildup, and promotes healthy yeast growth
