The specifics you want are Biotin, Pantothenic acid & Thiamine.

Biotin - Increased cell viability
Pantothenic acid - Reduces sulphide production and volatile acidity. Think PH swing.
Thiamine - Increases cell replication and mass. So increases fermentation speed and is rapidly absorbed at the start of ferment.

Vitamin b complex tablets may have all three.

I have gone onto using a little Olive oil in 25l and a glug in 350 litres.
When I use olive oil there is never any residue or trace. Something has used it.

Yeah that's the right price for wheat.
I would crush and use two tablets per wash.

Don't expect a wheaty flavour this is a neutral recipe.

Might be of interest to you?
IMHO can't be used for neutral tho'. Wheat comes across even after a couple of reflux passes.

i know its getting distilled so i presume its ok.....
its easy to get and very cheap compared to health shop versions of organic kind costing 4 times as much.

It should be as safe as houses, I would certainly expect so.

Feed wheat is not unfit for human consumption.

It is a protein grading not a quality grading.

I make bread with it.
