Before you use it
The DAP fraction makes it a poor choice for the whole regime in mead, where a late DAP hit can be thrown rather than taken up. Pair it with an organic nutrient and stop adding by the one third break.
Description
A complete blend: DAP for fast nitrogen, magnesium sulfate, thiamine and other vitamins, plus sterols and unsaturated fatty acids for membrane health. Covers a wort or must that is short of everything rather than short of one thing.
