Don't know exactly what you're looking for here but Go-Ferm and Fermaid are used at a rate of:
GO-Ferm - 1.25 grams/gram of yeast mixed into 17 ml H20/gallon of must
Fermaid K - 1.0 g/gallon of must
I don't use teaspoons to measure either of these guys. You may be thinking of generic yeast nutrient and energizer which is generally measured by the tablespoon.
I seem to recall reading that they were about 1 gram per 1/4 tsp, and that's the conversion I've been using when Oskaar calls for gram additions. We're not all Coke dealers with digital scales Oskaar.:'(
At some point in Oskaar's (3378) posts he mentioned that 1 gram of fermaid K was about a 1/4 tsp, he must have since it is part of my Oskaar in a Nutshell thread, and any modifications I made to the text were for flow and assembling into categories. I have no Idea if Oskaar measured it at some point. But Oskaar was my original source.
The Primo scale is an excellent value. It has a weight capacity of 11 lbs. It's display can be configured to show the weight in ounces or grams. With a resolution of 0.1 ounce (1 gram), the Primo is ideal for measuring hops, chemicals or other small ingredient additions. The extremely compact Primo runs on two AA batteries (included). Dimensions: 8"x6"x1.25".
Hmmm.. I used 1/2 Tsp Fermaid-K in my Cinnful Cyser mod...for no good reason other than DeltOgre used 1/2 Tsp of "DAP Based Yeast Energizer". Any downside to using too much? I think in Joe Mattioli's Quick Mead, he said to use 1/8 tsp of FERMAX and that MORE would NOT be BETTER due to off flavors.
I'm taking achemestry class this semestre we've goog scientific scales in there.
Hre what I got:
Fermaid K: in several trials repeatedly came to 1.3 or 1.4 g/ 1/4 tsp. There can be a lot of variables, I may have gotten fermaid with more dap than normal and tsp. measures will difer a bit from eachother.
