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.

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.

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.

add it, cutting out another phone call or online order.
