Fermaid-A or Fermaid-K?

[skyfire322]

I decided to go with the R-HST yeast for my Riesling, and they're recommending the use of GoFerm with Fermaid-A. I've checked the instructions on how/when to use it. The usage recommendations look similar, but I can't seem to find anything on if one could be substituted for another.

Essentially, I'm just curious to see if either or would work.

For the most part they are interchangeable, Fermaid A provides several sources of nitrogen, the K version has additional micro-nutrients. Both A and K are used in addition or instead of Fermaid O, when starting must nitrogen is known to be very low.

Thanks for that! That definitely clears things up for me.
