DamageInc wrote:Just wondering, if I was to use a yeast nutrient such as Fermaid or Go-ferm which provides yeast with various vitamins in addition to nitrogen, would I need the DAP and the multivitamin tablet? Just interested as I already have a fair bit of fermaid and would prefer to use that if it is suitable.

Cheers Wellsy, all my previous (not FFV) washes have been pretty clear so I wasn't sure.
Is it normal for the FFV wash to be milky?

Yep, this.
Also I now put the simmered bran into a brew bag and pul it out a day or two before racking.
There is lots less sludge in the bottom.

Interesting idea, I assume that you have the mashing equipment that allows you do do that?
