Wyeast BC Nutrient Blend vs White Labs Servomyces Nutrient

[dunleav1]

It seems both of these products are designed to promote healthier yeast and have similar ingredients.
I've read reviews of both and I'm torn about which one to use.

I do a lot of repitching, up to the 5 generation.

Has anyone compared the two products side by side to be able to give some opinions?

I'll probably split a few batches and compare the results between the two products but I wanted to gather some others opinions first.

Thanks,

I've used both but have not done an actual side by side comparison. I was happy with the results of both. I go with the Wyeast blend simply because of the difference in cost.

Maybe on multiple pitches you might see a difference after a number of generations, but for one or two generations, I haven't seen a difference.

Thanks Wayne.
I've heard a lot of brewers on brewing network say they use White labs - including Jamil.
The cost difference is huge, I'm wondering what the deal is?

I'll have to compare them side by side.

I don't get enough attenuation out of my higher gravity brews and I'm hoping this is the trick.
I have healthy pitch, adjusted water, good temp control, plenty of pure O2.

I haven't done a lot of comparison between the two. Servo is what my local shop carries and that is a big factor in my choice.
