Wort produced from a high percentage of malt tends to supply necessary vitamins in levels well beyond what is needed for fermentation (including biotin, inositol, and pantothenate). The levels left after fermentation as to the overall nutritional value of beer. Malt also tends to add the required levels of copper, iron, zinc, and magnesium.<ref name=fix>Fix, George.

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 consider using a protein rest (45-50°C) (see [[Mashing]]) or adding yeast nutrient. | Yeast consume at least 100-140ppm FAN in wort.
