Nitrogen is generally plentiful in wort and typically does not require supplementation for beer production.<ref name="Ferreira"/> The concentration of the amino acids isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, glycine, alanine, tyrosine, lysine, histidine, arginine and leucine, are considered important, as these are an important part of the complex system regulating the biosynthesis of flavour-active compounds formed by yeast.<ref name="Ferreira"/> However, if supplementation is desired, a mixture of amino acids is more favorable to growth than when ammonium ions are the source of nitrogen.<ref name="Ferreira"/> Phenolic yeast may have a higher nitrogen requirement.<ref name="Ferreira"/>

Yeast consume at least 100-140ppm FAN in wort. Since proline cannot be utilized, wort has to contain 200-220ppm FAN. Inadequate nutrition can result in reduced yeast propagation and a delay in fermentation and maturation, and ultimately the retention of undesirable "young beer" off-flavors. Higher modified malts produce more FAN.<ref>Kunze, Wolfgang. "3.2 Mashing." ''Technology Brewing & Malting.'' Edited by Olaf Hendel, 6th English Edition ed., VBL Berlin, 2019. p. 230.</ref> If adjuncts are used, the brewer should employ a protein rest (45-50°C) (see [[Mashing]]) or add yeast nutrient.
