Is Wyeast yeast nutrient available locally?

Haven't seen it anywhere. But Dave carries the White Labs version.

I'm sure ng would get it in, but I bet Dave can get it too. What do you want it for? Troubles, or fun?

Just thinking I should likely be using it since I'm brewing with 100% RO water. I know you're getting most of what you need from the wort, but zinc is likely low in my wort.

That's the one I use. I get it online.

White labs yeast nutrient is amino acids. I think it's their other yeast nutrient thing that has the zinc, I think it is called Servomyces.

Correct. It's yeast that has been saturated in zinc or something like that.

Most places I checked don't carry Servomyces. Dave should be able to order it with his next white labs order. Failing that I think one of the online stores carried it when I looked into getting some. I just wanted it for making yeast so I landed on the wyeast/whitelabs yeast nutrient instead. I was worried about adding too much zinc to my starters and the yeast nutrients have considerably less zinc than the Servomyces.

Is it zinc oxide?
