Forgot The Yeast Nutrient - Can I Add It Later

[The King of Spain]

Forgot to add yeast nutrient.

I've just put down another LCBA clone and the last I used yeast nutrient last time with US56 and got a great dry finish (OG 1050 down to 1008) with no adjuncts.

I think the 10min boil time they advocate is just to steralise the mix so I am boiling in a sauspan and will add before pitching.

Anyone corrections to my assumptions.

Cheers

What malt? If imported maybe dont bother. If Australian, then the zinc in the nutrient seems to make a big difference. If not using in the kettle, then I would 1) boil it to be safe and 2) cut back the amount a bit because I think the recommended dosage allows for some to be left behind in the kettle.

Thanks. BB Galaxy which supports what you say (and my observation).
