Re: yeast nutrient.
I've always though yeast nutrient was just vitamin C. I've never really used it for beer making but I'm sure someone will be along soon............

Re: yeast nutrient.
For Wines I use a Vit B1 tablet, for beer I have a tub of Marstons/Coors stuff I use.
Dunno what differences there are.

Re: yeast nutrient.
My understanding is yes. I got some from Ebay (from a reputable brewing shop) and they sent me tronozomol (not sure of spelling). I quizzed it, as it said "wine" on the box, and they said it was fine for beer also. I've used it a couple of times and no problems.

Re: yeast nutrient.
Yeast is yeast, a single celled fungi.
Its the strains that are different not the core fungi, therefore the nutritional requirements are the same for them all, unless you subject them to something outside their usual habitat, in that case they will mutate eventually and show a preference for their new habitat\substance you are feeding them on (such as large amounts of white sugar instead of grain sugars).
The most benificial nutrient is zinc, as its always in short supply, zinc thickens the yeast cell walls and helps contain off flavours and esters created inside the yeast cell, inside the yeast cell, this gives you a cleaner beer.
Youngs yeast nutrient from wilkos works ok, as does old dried brewers yeast chucked in the wort for the last 10 mins of the boil.
