Arauner Kitzinger Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) 6 g, aid for the fermentation start

Vitamin B1, also called thiamine or aneurin, is a nutrient for the yeast. During the vigorous main fermentation the yeast produces it itself in larger amounts, but in the initial fermentation phase it is often only scarcely available. A dose at the start therefore supports the fermentation start.

The sachet contains 6 g. The maximum is 0.6 mg thiamine per litre per treatment, i.e. 6 mg per 10 litres (15 mg per 25 litres); the pack's "6 g for around 1000 litres" would be ten times that for pure thiamine. This is how to dose: dissolve 0.5 g in 500 ml of cold water, add 6 ml of it per 10 litres (15 ml per 25 litres) together with the yeast and discard the rest; not together with potassium metabisulfite, because sulfite breaks down thiamine. The product comes from the Arauner Kitzinger range.
