Diammonium Phosphate Nitrogen?

I have seen a lot of comments about adding diammonium phosphate nitrogen at the beginning to be sure the yeast can complete the process and eliminate rotten egg odor. In my mine its more alcohol too, at the end if that's what you are after and I'm after. Is this correct? Is there a source that would be local for the food grade "dap" for my wine creations? What else have you folks tried without the belly ache? I would like to get it locally instead of having to order and wait or order ahead. Just start the new batch and add it, cutting out another phone call or online order.

DAP is used to correct a nitrogen deficiency, it's not relly called DAP nitrogen. The only place I have seen it is in winemaking stores, but any chemical supply house that will sell to you can supply it also. You don't need a whole lot.

Joe Thanks I have called all I know around here in Greenville, NC areas and no one here even knows what it is. I do have a couple of places trying to locate it for me.

That's a better idea actually. DAP is often included with yeast nutrient, but it has some other things DAP alone won't provide. I have used brands called yeastex, fermaid and super ferment all do a nice job.

Did you try looking under beer _and_ winemaking in the phone books? Sometimes they have a hard time categorizing beer and winemaking supply shops.

Any good wine supply shop sells Di-Ammonium Phosphate as a Yeast Nutrient. I just bought a pound from ECKRAUS.COM

It's not called Di-Ammonium Phosphate Nitrogen. It's just plain Di-Ammonium Phosphate, and it is sold as "Yeast Nutrient", and it should be available at your local wine shop. I get mine from Wine and Cake Hobbies in Norfolk, VA. Bob
