Propper Seltzer Nutrient is compatible with any strain of yeast including Wine Yeast, Beer Yeast, and Distillers Yeast, and was designed to make things easier for Brewers looking to create their own Hard Seltzer.
Hard seltzer fermentation differs from standard Beer Brewing because simple sugars – such as Dextrose – do not provide yeast the essential nutrients that naturally occurs in Malt. Yeast needs these elements in order to live, replicate and ferment.
In order to propel thorough fermentation in a simple sugar base, the yeast need the addition of specific vitamins and minerals to replace what they typically get from Malt. Omega Yeast’s R&D crew developed a nutrient blend that manages yeast’s nutrient requirements efficiently, resulting in healthy, fast, clean fermentations in shorter time.
Propper Seltzer Nutirent is balanced to allow Brewers to Brew a Hard Seltzer without struggling against long or unpredictable fermentations, intrusive off-flavors, cloudiness or extensive yellowing. Seltzer® takes the guesswork out of Brewing Hard Seltzer. This allows the Brewer to focus on the creative side of Seltzers.
Recommended Homebrew Use:
One 28g pack provides yeast nutrient for 5 gallons (18.92L) of sugar wort at 1.060 (15ºP) or lower.
Storage and Handling:
Propper Seltzer® should be stored in a cool and dry area away from heat and direct sunlight for maximum stability.
Directions for Use:
Please see back of the sachet for 'Directions for Use'.
Additional Information:
Although the Brewer can use nearly any yeast strain with Propper Seltzer and complete fermentation in 7 days, it is particularly speedy with Kveiks because of how quickly Kveik ferment at high temperatures.
Recognizing their immense advantages for Brewers, Omega Yeast was the very first yeast lab to make Norwegian Kveik commercially available – introducing Kveik to US Brewers in 2015.
Kveik are known for their versatile fermentation temperatures and high alcohol tolerance. Brewers ferment anywhere between 68 – 95°F (20 – 35°C) for an array of distinctive, tropical and fruity profiles that increase in intensity and speed of fermentation the higher in-range you ferment them. Lutra Kveik specifically, unlike most Kveik, remains shockingly clean even at high Kveik temperatures, making it fast-fermenting AND a neutral canvas – and therefore perfect for hard seltzers.
