Do I need to use yeast nutrients? And if so, when, why, and how?
Not really having problems I can detect, yet (too new still...), but all this reading - Jamil says this, Palmer says that - great info, but there is so much of it that it gets my gears turning so fast I tend to loose focus on the big picture.
Facts: You want healthy yeast; you want to pitch at an appropriate rate based on your particular wort factors; you want to propagate and pitch at the correct temperatures, you want good nutrient content in your wort; wait... there it is!
When might your wort NOT have sufficient nutrients to support healthy yeast growth? (yes, I know; loaded question)
