    Hi all just thought I would share something I tried the other day. I have a experimental shredded wheat wash going at the moment which slowed down to about 1 bubble per 50 seconds out of the airlock still with about half the sugar to ferment. I can’t remember where I read it but it was ages ago to add marmite, I dissolved 1 T/Spoon of marmite in half a cup of boiling water topped the cup up with cold water and stirred it in. It’s bubbling nicely now a day and half later about1 bubble per second.

    All I know is marmite contains yeast extract not that I know what yeast extract is, with my luck I will now end up with a 40% marmite drink

    Marmite Yeast Extract

    Yeast extract is the common name for various forms of processed yeast products made by extracting the cell contents (removing the cell walls); they are used as food additives or flavourings, or as nutrients for bacterial culture media. They are often used to create savory flavors and umami taste sensations. Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is used for umami, but has no flavor. Yeast extract, like MSG, often contains free glutamic acid. Yeast extracts in liquid form can be dried to a light paste or a dry powder. Glutamic acid in yeast extracts are produced from an acid-base fermentation cycle, only found in some yeasts, typically ones bred for use in baking.
