Hi Ralph
1. Yes.
2. Both and my beers have been better for it. I always use yeast nutrients in my beers.
3. Wyeast yeast nutrient purchased from realbeer.co.nz when I ordered some liquid yeast.

lol, yeah $4.50 sounds about right.

 

I got some through Realbeer a while ago, was making some awesome beers back then, no problems with attenuation on some really big beers too! It's good shit!

I don't remember how much it cost but it sure as hell wasn't $450.

I've also used the brewcraft yeast salt/acid/nutrient stuff which seemed to work ok. I feel more confident recommending and using the Wyeast stuff though.

Same as Mr Cherry for me.

 

WYeast nutes are better than the Brewcraft stuff because the WYeast one contains Zinc - really important for yeast and often deficient in wort.
