Notes

24 hours after pitching the yeast, dissolve the contents of 2
yeast nutrient packet in a small amount of water and bring to
a brief boil in the microwave. Cover, allow to cool and add
directly to the fermentor.

48 hours after pitching the yeast, follow the above procedure and add 2 more packets of yeast nutrient directly to
the fermentor.

72 hours after pitching the yeast, follow the above procedure and add 2 more packets of yeast nutrient directly to
the fermentor

If you chose a citrus flavoring, add the crystallized citrus
packet to 1 cup of water until dissolved. Heat to boiling
briefly. Gently stir half into the primed seltzer. Taste, and add
additional flavoring solution according to your preference of
flavor intensity. If you did not opt for the citrus flavoring, you
can either create a straight hard seltzer or add your own fruit
juice/puree for something unique.
