Marmite as a wine additive, is that a thing?

[David_M]

My mother in law used to make wine many moons ago and has decided to have a dabble. She has been given a recipe that includes a teaspoon of marmite in the demijohn at the start of fermentation. Is marmite in wine an actual thing that wine makers do?

As much as I love marmite. I cannot see it as having a place in brewing / wine making!

Love to hear how this goes!

Might be good as a yeast nutrient

That's what I've heard/read before.

Along with tomato puree, two of the most likely stopgap wine nutrients you may have in your cupboard. Then again in this day and age as they could be more likely to be in your cupboard, just crush up a couple of multi vitamin pills and pop them in.

As members havs said it can be used as nutrient but a pot of nutrient costs little lasts ages and if you don't want to buy it get some youngs super wine yeast compound as it is both yeast and nutrient.

I think I will advise her to go with the Youngs super wine yeast compound. I do like Marmite but wine tasting of it doesn't sound like a winner to me.

You'll never taste it with the dilution factor and the yeast munching on it as well as using it for authenticity...

We all going to start chucking marmite in our stouts and stuff?

Doesn't proper posh yeast nutrient contain yeast hulls? If so, marmite can't be a million miles off.

Think I'll get a gallon of Marmite wine on this weekend.
1kg sugar
1 large jar of Marmite.
3l apple juice
Orange and lemon peel, cinnamon, cloves.
That should get rid of the unwanted guests this Christmas.

Marmite mulled wine now that would be interesting

To be honest, ever since they started producing marmite peanut butter, I've been waiting for a craft brewery to release a marmite peanut butter double Imperial Stout IPA
