Every great beer starts with healthy yeast.
Servomyces Premium Yeast Nutrient from Lallemand is one of the most respected yeast nutrients available to both commercial breweries and home brewers. Unlike ordinary powdered nutrients, Servomyces is a naturally enriched brewing yeast that delivers highly bioavailable trace minerals—including zinc—to improve yeast health and fermentation performance.
Adding just one tablet during the final 10 minutes of the boil helps support healthier yeast growth, improved attenuation, faster fermentation, cleaner flavour development and reduced sulphur production.
Whether you're brewing a crisp lager, high gravity IPA, Belgian Tripel or your next competition beer, Servomyces provides inexpensive insurance for healthier fermentations.
Why You'll Love Servomyces
✔ Naturally enriched biological yeast nutrient
✔ Rich in highly bioavailable zinc
✔ Supports healthy yeast growth
✔ Improves yeast vitality and viability
✔ Faster fermentation
✔ Better attenuation
✔ Higher alcohol yield
✔ Reduced sulphur aromas
✔ Excellent for repitching yeast
✔ Trusted by commercial breweries worldwide
Why Brewers Use Servomyces
While all-malt wort contains many of the nutrients yeast require, zinc is often one of the first nutrients to become limiting, especially in modern brewing systems, high gravity beers and repeated yeast generations. Servomyces provides zinc in a biologically available form by incorporating it into yeast cells during production, making it easier for brewing yeast to utilise during fermentation than many inorganic zinc additions.
The result is healthier yeast, improved fermentation performance and cleaner tasting beer.
Perfect For
- German Lagers
- Czech Pilsners
- Helles
- Kölsch
- High Gravity Beers
- Double IPAs
- Belgian Ales
- Imperial Stouts
- Adjunct Lagers
- Yeast Repitching Programs
- Competition Brewing
Why We Recommend It
At Border Brewing, Servomyces has become one of our favourite "secret ingredients" for producing consistently healthy fermentations.
It's particularly valuable when brewing:
- High gravity beers
- Lagers fermented cold
- Beers using large percentages of adjuncts
- Re-pitched yeast
- Any beer where you want maximum yeast performance
For the small cost per batch, it provides cheap insurance against sluggish fermentations and stressed yeast.
How To Use
Simply add:
1 tablet per 4–26 litres of wort
during the last 10 minutes of the boil.
The tablet dissolves during the boil, leaving the beneficial nutrients available for the yeast during fermentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Servomyces?
Servomyces is a biological yeast nutrient produced by Lallemand using a specially cultivated brewing yeast that naturally accumulates essential trace minerals, including zinc, during propagation.
Why is zinc important?
Zinc is an essential cofactor in alcohol production and healthy yeast metabolism. Low zinc levels can contribute to sluggish fermentations and reduced yeast performance.
When should I add Servomyces?
Add one tablet during the final 10 minutes of the boil.
Should I use it in every beer?
It can be used in any beer, but it's especially beneficial for lagers, high gravity beers, adjunct-heavy recipes and whenever you're repitching yeast.
Does it replace yeast nutrient?
Servomyces is a premium biological yeast nutrient designed specifically for brewing. Many brewers use it as their primary yeast nutrient because of its highly bioavailable trace minerals and proven fermentation benefits.
Border Brewing Pro Tip: We recommend adding one Servomyces tablet during the last 10 minutes of every lager brew. We've consistently seen faster fermentation starts, improved attenuation and cleaner yeast performance—particularly when repitching yeast or brewing high-gravity beers.
