I am making kilju as an experiment and please can I have your help. It is a finnish alcoholic drink which is simply made of sugar and water, plus yeast.
I am using champagne yeast and was wondering what else I should add to the batch to make it successful, because I realize from people that yeast needs more than just sugar to survive.
My first question is what is the major difference between yeast nutrient vs yeast energizer and which one would be more appropriate for what im aiming to do here? Or should I use both of them? When should I add them to the batch?
Last question does gelatin finings kill the yeast? I was going to use that to clear up my batch after fermentation, but i wanted to reuse the yeast. and how long after fermentation is done do i add the finings?
