I made up two DJs of WOW with Red grape juice.
In one of them I added a teaspoon of Tomatoe Puree, which Id read was a yeast nutrient.

You can see the DJ on the left has cleared beautifully.
The one on the right (which had the puree) is not in good shape, in spite of extra doses of pectolase.
The Tom puree did nothing to kick start the ferm, and looks like it might have done for the whole brew!

I might have been an issue with contamination in the puree.
But hey, if you dont need it, dont bother :thumb:

Thanks for the heads up anyway
