Description
Servomyces is a naturally enriched single-strain brewing yeast that is used as a biological yeast nutrient. The propagation and drying process of Servomyces has been specifically designed to accumulate a range of trace minerals and elements that are essential or limiting during alcoholic fermentation.
Faster fermentation, improves yeast sedimentation, stimulates the uptake of maltose and maltotriose (which results in greater
attenuation and higher alcohol yields), and stimulates protein synthesis and yeast growth which leads to higher biomass production during propagation.
Please note this product is for 1 x Blister pack with 6 x Tablets.
Premium Yeast Nutrient Tablets – 6 Pack – Servomyces by Lallemand
Useful for any style of beer, we highly recommend using Servomyces with lagers, high-percentage adjunct beers, high-strength brews, or specialty projects that will present a high-stress environment for your yeast.
All-malt wort should normally provide most of the necessary nutrients for a successful fermentation.
Zinc, however, can still be deficient. Servomyces is added at the end of the boil to inactivate the yeast while keeping the zinc in the cellular matrix. The zinc derived from Servomyces is therefore considered to be more bioavailable compared to the addition of mineral zinc.
Servomyces contains a high concentration of zinc. Each gram of servomyces yeast nutrient contains 50,000-60,000 ppm of zinc. This improves yeast health resulting inr educed fermentation times, improved yeast sedimentation, higher alcohol yield and eliminates harsh sulphur notes producing a smooth more balanced beer.

Servomyces – Technical Data Sheet
Servomyces is highly recommended for propagation and repitching, and can be used as a ‘yeast insurance’ to ensure beers
will ferment and attenuate to your expectations. Since zinc is necessary as an enzymatic cofactor in the last step of alcohol production, it is highly encouraged to use Servomyces for high gravity fermentations.
Brewing Properties
- Minerals, when incorporated into some sort of living tissue, are more efficacious than when presented as a salt.
- Servomyces presents better bio-availability of minerals, which is a very important factor in yeast nutrition.
- Servomyces can decrease fermentation time significantly.
- Improves yeast sedimentation.
- Stimulates uptake of maltose and maltotriose, depending on the brewing strain, which results in higher alcohol yields.
- Stimulation of protein synthesis and yeast growth which leads to higher biomass production during propagation.
- It is reported that Servomyces eliminates harsh sulphur notes and produces a smoother more balanced beer
