Boil yeast slurry for nutrient?

[Ces]

Hey guys,

Going to put down my first cider from whole apples tonight and i get home with all my apples and realise I dont have any yeast nutrient left. Also, have only one packet of yeast for fermenting the cider out.

I do have the yeast slurry from a ginger beer that I produced and wondered if i could just boil some of that to replace the nutrient in my cider?

thanks for the help guys.

If you can hold-off processing the apples & get some extra yeast &/or nutrient tomorrow from a LHBS, that's one option (you didn't say how big your batch is...?).

Rinsing the ginger-beer yeast cake might be another.

Making a starter from the packet of yeast you have to step up the population maybe a third option.

Caveat: I've only made a few ciders & never bothered with nutrient & they've all been fine without (even my cysers didn't get a dose).

Good luck with it...
