Description

YEAST AT ITS BEST
Zinc Buddy™ stimulates protein synthesis and yeast growth, resulting in the improvement of yeast viability and overall yeast health, allowing for more robust yeast for repitching:

> 5% increase in viability of harvested yeast

Better flocculation, resulting in a 10-15% denser cell concentration at harvest

YOUR BEST BEER
Zinc Buddy™ promotes the uptake of maltose and maltotriose, resulting in:

Increased attenuation, up to 95% on all-malt beers

Beer reaches terminal gravity in 1-2 fewer days, for most ales

Beer clarifies faster

Improved beer sensory: lower diacetyl, lower sulfur, faster dry hop rest (due to hop creep).

EFFECTIVE & EFFICIENT
Cold-side additions of zinc ensure the most availability of mineral zinc, making utilization by yeast that much more efficient on the cold side.

This achieves 0.2 ppm zinc in cold wort at pitching time. It is assumed the wort has 0.1 ppm, so the total target starting Zinc is 0.3 ppm. Use the same for ales and lagers, in every batch.

Directions for Use:

Mix well before using. Spray cap with isopropanol or sanitizer and loosen. Carefully pour the desired volume of zinc solution directly into the fermentor before knockout, to ensure adequate homogenization in wort. Clean up any spillage with isopropanol or sanitizer and replace cap.

Since the solution is pre-sterilized, be sure to use proper aseptic technique when handling.
