I have been using this type of wine nutrient for awhile, and It has so far been working well. I recently made a batch of mead, and I had a 6 gal carboy filled and also a seperate small bottle of mead fermenting, that way I can use the small bottle to add to my carboy after my first racking.
Anyways when I was checking up on the small bottle I took a sniff of it and WOW it smelled funky a gross musty smell to it. I was puzzled as to why only the small one smelly. After thinking about it I realized I totally forgot to add nutrient to the small bottle and realized how people are rite when they say that mead does need nutrient to keep the yeasties stress free.
so now to my question, I have heard that some nutrients arent complete nutrients and Of course I want the best nutrient I can get so can someone look at my picture of my nutrient and tell me if its the complete and good kind of nutrient? its called Diabasic Ammounium Phosphate. Iv looked on the internet and even tried contacting the company that makes it with no luck at all.
