CAPYBARA Fermaid K Yeast Nutrient - 8 oz for Home Fermentation

Fermaid K Yeast Nutrient for Home Fermentation

CAPYBARA Distributors Inc. presents Fermaid K in an 8 oz package ideal for hobbyists and small-batch producers who want steady, predictable fermentation across wine, cider, mead, and other ferments. This blended complex yeast nutrient is designed for use with grape must, fruit mashes, or cereal mashes, helping support yeast health and consistent progression from start to finish.

What’s inside and what it does

Fermaid K combines inorganic nitrogen (DAP) and organic nitrogen (alpha amino nitrogen) with a carefully selected lineup of nutrients and inactivated yeast. It also includes essential minerals and vitamins that yeast can draw on during active fermentation. No UREA is used anywhere in its production, aligning with clear ingredient practices.

• INCLUDES: 1 pack (8 oz / 226.8 g) of Fermaid K Yeast Nutrient.
• Blended complex nutrient for wine, cider, mead, and other fermentations.
• Supplies inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (alpha amino nitrogen), magnesium sulfate, thiamine, folic acid, niacin, biotin, calcium pantothenate, and inactivated yeast.
• Avoids UREA in production.
• Suggested dosing: add at end of lag phase (12.5 g/hL) and after 1/3 sugar depletion (12.5 g/hL).

Benefits in practice

Using Fermaid K can help maintain a steady fermentation pace, particularly when dealing with variable musts or high sugar loads. It is not a guarantee, but many home fermenters find a smoother progression and lower risk of fermentation stalls when the nutrient is used as directed.

• Supports nitrogen and micronutrient balance to sustain yeast activity across wine, cider, mead, and other ferments.
• Aims to reduce sluggish or stuck fermentations and promote consistent fermentation curves.
• Manufactured by Lallemand Inc. and repackaged in Canada by CAPYBARA Distributors Inc.

Real-world use and sensory touchpoints

In everyday kitchen setups, Fermaid K is straightforward to use: measure the dose, time it with the lag phase and sugar depletion, and monitor activity. You may notice steady bubbling, a gentle fermentation aroma, and gradual clarity as your beverage finishes primary fermentation. The result is a dependable tool that blends seamlessly with your existing process, letting you focus on the craft rather than the timing alone.

Practical notes

Keep the product sealed after opening and store it in a cool, dry place. This nutrient is designed to work across base ingredients and fermentation scales typically found in home production. While results vary, Fermaid K offers a proven, practical option for supporting yeast health through the fermentation journey.
