MC047: TOSNA 2.0 — Less Filling (for the Yeast), Tastes Great (for You)

We jump right into the changes that come with TOSNA 2.0, so be sure to check out our initial discussion on yeast nutrients and why going all organic works in Episode 22 (our most downloaded episode to date!).

Drinks in this Episode

  • Allen: Honey Wine with Raspberries (Fringe Meadery)
  • Tysen: Hot for Teacher, a jalapeno cyser (Melovino Meadery)

The TOSNA 2.0 Protocol

Without having to go into all of the nitty gritty details of the protocol, Allen made his deadline and did in fact build a calculator. You provide the necessary inputs (batch size, starting sugars (in Brix or SG), and nutrient requirement). We’ll crunch the numbers and give you a tailored protocol to follow in your next batch. Check it out and let us know what you think!
