Has anyone tried feeding Bread Yeast with Commercial Nutrient (as opposed to JAOM style using raisins)?
<sigh> It's on the to-brew list, either item 4 or 29 depending on whether I want to do it as part of the yeast test or as a JAO experiment using raisins, no raisins, and nutrients & energizer.

I have heard so much about this list? How long is it now?
How about you make it #1?
I've done a few batches with decent results for a newbee, I've done one with tart cherry juice, apple juice and a meadowfoam that was to be a traditional. I did abandon the whole JOAM approach though and stagger fed them, aerated them and swirled them and so forth.
I aso used a lower starting gravity (3 lbs honey in a 4 liter jug for the trad, 2.5 honey in the others) and let them age longer (only bottled the meadowfoam after 5 months) and the apple took awhile to mellow but they were fun to do and not too shabby.
So basically there is no real difference in using nutrient/energizer than raisins? As in, it's just like a 71b or a D47 (though I probably wouldn't throw the latter in a bread recipe)?
