So is yeast nutrient really necessary if I'm making a gallon batch with a full pack of yeast for 5? Will the dead yeast be enough nutrients for it to take off just fine or is it worth it to add the extra supplement? Using the least amount of everything seems keeping with the hobo vibe

Is there any good input or information anywhere about the correct frozen concentrate ratio to use? I've seen someone use 4 in a gallon and another use 1 then just add sugar?

Well i racked my first batch and then had to throw it out. It started to give off an incredibly vinegary smell as well as taste. Slightly disheartened but im going to try again.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:Seems like wild yeasts got in there and out-competed your good yeasts. Make sure all of your equipment and fermentation vessel is sanitized on your next batch, and possibly consider pitching a bit more yeast or adding yeast nutrients when you do. I went ahead and made another batch. Made sure to sanitize all my equipment. Went looking for some yeast nutrient but the store was out. I pitched extra yeast into it like you said. Guess ill just have to wait and see what happens.

I guess another question I had is is it necessary to have a secondary fermentation vessal? Or if i just racked it out into a container then washed and sanitized my carboy I should be able to throw it back in and just add water to cut the headspace at the top right? I have 2 but decided to use both for 2 batchs this time so they're both my primary fermenters atm
