Distilled Spirits Nutrients and Protectors

ART-BW-034 is a dry nutrient and protector system for distilled spirits fermentation, designed for use where yeast encounters high gravity, variable nitrogen, elevated osmotic pressure, temperature fluctuation, or inhibitory compounds from raw materials. The product is suitable for craft and industrial processes requiring controlled nutrient addition without changing the core distillation recipe. Typical components may include inactive yeast derivatives, amino nitrogen sources, vitamins, minerals, and yeast cell wall fractions selected to support fermentation kinetics and yeast stress tolerance.

Representative specification targets for procurement review include powder or fine granular format, off-white to tan color, moisture typically not more than 8%, dispersibility in warm process water, and low odor impact when dosed according to plant protocol. Typical analytical parameters may cover total nitrogen, free amino nitrogen contribution, phosphorus, magnesium, zinc, thiamine, beta-glucan, and mannan levels, depending on the final grade confirmed on the Certificate of Analysis. For adjacent beverage fermentation materials, see our brewing and winemaking yeast category.

• Whisky, whiskey, and grain neutral spirit: supports consistent yeast performance in corn, wheat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal mashes where free amino nitrogen and micronutrient balance can vary by crop and cook profile.
• Rum and molasses spirits: helps address nutrient variability in cane molasses, syrup, or sugar wash fermentations, especially in high-gravity systems with rapid heat generation.
• Fruit brandy and pomace spirits: provides a controlled nutrient addition option for musts or fruit bases with uneven nitrogen availability and variable solids content.
• Agave and specialty spirits: can be incorporated into fermentation trials where sugar composition, mineral profile, and osmotic stress require structured nutrient management.
• R&D and scale-up: suitable for bench, pilot, and production trials comparing fermentation time, residual sugars, volatile profile, cell counts, and process repeatability. Request a bulk quote on request with target substrate, gravity, temperature range, and annual volume.

Store sealed 10 kg foil pouches in a cool, dry, odor-free warehouse away from direct sunlight, steam lines, and strong oxidizing materials. Recommended storage is 5-25 °C with relative humidity below 65%. After opening, close the pouch tightly or transfer to a clean, dry, food-contact container and use promptly to avoid moisture pickup. Typical shelf life is 18-24 months from manufacture when stored unopened under recommended conditions; the exact retest or expiry date is stated on the batch document.

For use, disperse in clean water or add according to the distillery’s validated standard operating procedure. Typical trial ranges are often 10-60 g/hL, adjusted by raw material analysis, yeast strain, gravity, temperature, and target fermentation time.

ArtemisYeast supports B2B qualification with batch-level documentation, including Certificate of Analysis, product specification, allergen statement, non-GMO status where applicable, food-grade declaration, and safety data sheet on request. Manufacturing documentation may include HACCP-aligned controls, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, Halal, or Kosher documentation where available for the confirmed production site and batch. We recommend confirming all required declarations before purchase order release through our quality documentation process.

Procurement teams should reference ART-BW-034 in RFQs and include destination country, intended application, annual demand, packaging preference, and any limits for heavy metals, microbiology, or processing aids. Final specifications are confirmed by contract specification and batch CoA rather than by general web copy.
