Yeast Nutrient or Energizer
I read on rec.crafts.brewing that "diammonia phosphate and urea" is a yeast nutrient, and the post also mentioned a "yeast energizer", speculating that it might just be vitamins. What is the difference between a yeast "nutrient" and an "energizer"?
Thanks.

RESPONSE:
Yeast Pitch
I am planning on brewing a barley wine as soon as the weather cools off enough so I can maintain a fermentation temp of 65-70 deg. F. It will have an OG of approximately 1.110. I have purchased 3 packs of Nottingham yeast (11 gm per pack) and am wondering if this should be enough yeast for 5 gallons.
Yeast Starter
Thanks again to those responsible for this valuable contribution to "craft brewing" knowledge. My question might have obvious answers for some readers but here goes anyway. When making a starter for an ale with liquid yeast the instructions are typically to keep the starter at 20-24degC.
Yeast Stress
A hearty welcome to Chris Powell on FOY! The description of his earlier work reminds me of a question regarding yeast stress.
