Zinc Buddy

Zinc Buddy™ from White Labs - sterile & reeady-to-use, cold-side zinc solution for improved yeast health and better fermentations.

Convenience
Zinc Buddy™ comes as a ready-to-use solution that takes the guesswork out of your cold-side zinc additions. Sterilised and acidified to ensure maximum solubility and uptake, Zinc Buddy™ makes your cold-side process easy enough to use on every batch. Just add with your pitching yeast and ensure proper homogenisation.

Yeast At Its Best
Zinc Buddy™ stimulates protein synthesis and yeast growth, resulting in the improvement of yeast viability and overall yeast health, allowing for more robust yeast for repitching:

• > 5% increase in viability of harvested yeast
• Better flocculation, resulting in a 10-15% denser cell concentration at harvest

Your Best Beer
Zinc Buddy™ promotes the uptake of maltose and maltotriose, resulting in:

• Increased attenuation, up to 95% on all-malt beers
• Beer reaches terminal gravity in 1-2 fewer days, for most ales
• Beer clarifies faster
• Improved beer sensory: lower diacetyl, lower sulfur, faster dry hop rest (due to hop creep).

Effective & Efficient
Cold-side additions of zinc ensure the most availability of mineral zinc, making utilisation by yeast that much more efficient on the cold side.
