BetaCel-Yeast® (Premium)
Price range: £6.99 through £2,450.00***THIS PRODUCT IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY***This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageBetaCel Yeast® – Premium Deactivated Brewers’ Yeast Powder
NEW & IMPROVED – Higher Protein, Premium Brewing Heritage & Better Value
BetaCel Yeast® is our new premium-quality deactivated brewers’ yeast powder, produced from 100% pure Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Sourced from a global leading producer of yeast powders and extracts, BetaCel Yeast® is derived from genuine traditional brewing using malted barley and hops, providing an excellent nutritional profile and valuable naturally occurring brewing compounds.
Following our own comparative testing against our long-established Brocacel® Yeast, BetaCel Yeast® came out on top, offering a higher measured protein content, a more pleasant overall taste in our own comparisons, distinctive brewing-derived characteristics and a cost saving for our customers.
Why Have We Introduced BetaCel Yeast®?
Brocacel® has always been a very good-quality yeast ingredient, and one we have been happy to supply for many years. However, at AA Baits, we are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality and value of the ingredients we offer.
Following comparative laboratory testing, we received the following protein results:
- Brocacel® Yeast – 40.9% crude protein
- BetaCel Yeast® – 45.8% crude protein
These are the actual results returned from the samples tested. As with any natural ingredient, nutritional values can vary slightly between production batches.
This means BetaCel Yeast® demonstrated approximately 12% more protein than Brocacel® in our comparative testing.
Alongside the higher protein result, BetaCel Yeast® offers a cost saving, making it an exciting addition to our range.
Understanding the Bitterness Levels – Why Is This Important?
One of the interesting findings from our comparative laboratory testing was the difference in measured bitterness levels between the two yeast products.
Our results showed:
- Brocacel® Yeast – 20 BU/100g dry matter
- BetaCel Yeast® – 100 BU/100g dry matter
This means BetaCel Yeast® recorded five times the measured bitterness of Brocacel® in our laboratory analysis.
However, it’s important to understand what these figures actually mean, particularly when it comes to taste, palatability and bait quality.
At AA Baits, we fully appreciate that taste and palatability are extremely important when developing high-quality fishing baits. The last thing we want is to introduce an ingredient that negatively affects the taste or acceptance of our formulations.
For this reason, we carried out our own direct taste comparisons between Brocacel® and BetaCel Yeast®.
Despite the difference in laboratory bitterness readings, we were unable to detect any noticeable additional bitterness in BetaCel Yeast®. In fact, we found BetaCel Yeast® to have a much more pleasant initial taste and aftertaste, making it our preferred product in our own side-by-side comparisons. We also tested other yeast powders that recorded zero measurable bitterness and had not been produced through traditional brewing using malted barley and hops. Despite having no measurable bitterness, we found both their initial taste and lingering aftertaste to be extremely unpleasant.
This highlights an important distinction: a laboratory bitterness measurement does not necessarily translate directly into how bitter an ingredient tastes, particularly when it is incorporated at relatively low inclusion levels within a complete bait formulation.
So Why Have We Highlighted the Bitterness Reading?
The reason we’ve included this information isn’t because we believe a more bitter bait is necessarily better. Instead, we consider it an interesting analytical characteristic that helps us understand the brewing origin and composition of the yeast.
BetaCel Yeast® originates from genuine traditional brewing using malted barley and hops, rather than simply being yeast grown on alternative fermentation substrates.
During the brewing process, hops contribute naturally occurring bitter compounds, including humulone (alpha acid), lupulone (beta acid) and related substances.
The bitterness level of brewery-derived yeast can be influenced by the quantity, variety and bittering intensity of the hops used, alongside the brewing and production processes themselves.
The higher bitterness reading in BetaCel Yeast® is consistent with its origins in a hop-rich brewing process and reflects an interesting difference in the brewing-derived characteristics of the two yeast products.
These hop-derived compounds are also of particular interest because of their recognised antioxidant and bacteriostatic properties under certain conditions.
Although the bitterness reading alone cannot establish the exact concentrations of these compounds or determine the quality of the original beer, it provides another useful insight into the characteristics of BetaCel Yeast® and its genuine brewing heritage.
What Does This Mean for Bait Makers?
Ultimately, what matters to us is the overall quality, nutritional value, taste and suitability of an ingredient, rather than any single laboratory figure.
Our own taste testing found BetaCel Yeast® to have a more pleasant overall taste than Brocacel®, with no noticeable increase in bitterness, despite its higher analytical reading.
It’s also worth remembering that brewers’ yeast is normally used as just one component of a complete bait formulation. Its contribution to the finished bait will depend on the inclusion rate and the other ingredients used.
For us, the bitterness measurement is simply another piece of analytical information that complements the more important advantages we have identified:
- Higher Protein Content – 45.8% crude protein compared with 40.9% for Brocacel® in our comparative testing.
- Excellent Taste Profile – Preferred in our own side-by-side taste comparisons, with no noticeable additional bitterness.
- Genuine Brewery Origin – Derived from traditional brewing using malted barley and hops.
- Naturally Occurring Nutrients – Including MOS, beta-glucans, nucleotides, amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
- Better Value for Money – Offering a cost saving compared with Brocacel®.
Genuine Brewery-Derived Yeast – Why the Source Matters
Not all yeast powders are produced in the same way, and we believe the origin of a yeast ingredient is just as important as its nutritional specification.
BetaCel Yeast® is sourced from genuine traditional brewing using malted barley and hops, rather than simply being yeast grown on an alternative fermentation substrate.
During the brewing process, the yeast comes into contact with naturally occurring compounds from both the malted barley and hops, contributing to its distinctive composition.
This can include valuable hop-derived bitter compounds alongside the nutritional components naturally present in the yeast itself.
Some yeast powders are produced using alternative fermentation substrates and different manufacturing processes. These can still be useful ingredients, but their composition may differ significantly from genuine brewery-derived yeast.
For this reason, we believe it is important to understand not just the protein content of a yeast powder, but also where it comes from, how it is produced and what naturally occurring compounds it contains.
Why Bitterness and Gluten Are Interesting Indicators
Two particularly interesting characteristics when assessing brewery-derived yeast are its measured bitterness and the presence of gluten.
Traditional brewing commonly uses malted barley, which naturally contains gluten-related proteins, while hops contribute characteristic bitter compounds.
When both are detected in a brewers’ yeast powder, they can provide useful supporting evidence of its brewing origin.
However, neither measurement alone proves how a yeast has been produced, which is why manufacturer traceability and confirmation of the production process are equally important.
In the case of BetaCel Yeast®, we have confirmation that the product originates from traditional brewing using malted barley and hops.
Combined with its measured bitterness, this gives us further confidence in the origin and characteristics of the ingredient we are supplying.
Naturally Rich in Valuable Yeast Nutrients
BetaCel Yeast® contains a range of naturally occurring nutritional components that make deactivated brewers’ yeast a valuable ingredient in modern bait formulations.
These include:
- MOS (Mannan Oligosaccharides) – Naturally occurring yeast cell wall components valued for their prebiotic properties.
- Beta-Glucans – Yeast cell wall polysaccharides recognised for their potential role in supporting normal immune function.
- Nucleotides – Important nutritional compounds involved in cellular activity, growth and tissue development.
- Amino Acids – Valuable protein-building components that contribute to the nutritional profile of a bait.
- B Vitamins – Naturally occurring vitamins involved in metabolism and nutrient utilisation.
- Minerals & Trace Elements – Including phosphorus, iron, zinc and other essential micronutrients.
- Hop-Derived Compounds – Including humulone, lupulone and related bitter substances associated with the brewing process.
Premium Quality & Specialist Production
BetaCel Yeast® is manufactured by a global leading producer of yeast powders and extracts, using specialist production and processing technology.
The combination of genuine brewery-derived raw material, carefully controlled processing and an excellent nutritional specification makes BetaCel Yeast® a premium ingredient for use in boilies, groundbaits, stick mixes and other specialist fishing bait formulations.

MegaMino®
Price range: £9.99 through £8,499.99 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pageMegaMino® – Advanced Amino Liquid for Carp Bait
After more than 18 months of development, testing and refinement, MegaMino® is finally here.
This isn’t just another amino liquid. MegaMino® represents a major advancement in bait nutrition, fish attraction, and amino technology.
Developed specifically for carp and other coarse fish, MegaMino® delivers an exceptionally high concentration of key amino acids—making it almost five times stronger than many original amino liquid products. More importantly, it has been formulated around fish physiology, not human nutrition.
Designed for Fish, Not Humans
Many amino liquids available today are based on ingredients originally developed for human food or supplements. While these products can contain useful amino acids, they are rarely designed around the way fish detect food or their nutritional requirements.
MegaMino® has been developed from the ground up with:
- Fish feeding behaviour
- Fish detection mechanisms
- Nutritional requirements of carp
- Maximum water solubility
Every amino acid has been carefully balanced to create a powerful feeding signal that carp can detect quickly and respond to with confidence.
Powerful Amino Attraction
MegaMino® has been formulated to produce an intense amino signal in the water.
The carefully balanced amino acid profile encourages fish to:
- Detect bait faster
- Investigate more confidently
- Feed for longer periods
The result is exceptional attraction while maintaining the nutritional quality of your bait.
Laboratory Tested & Fully Transparent
We believe anglers should know exactly what they’re buying.
That’s why MegaMino® has undergone independent laboratory analysis, with a full amino acid specification available.
This allows bait makers and anglers to see the strength, composition and quality of the formulation for themselves.
Extensively Tested on Carp
Before launch, MegaMino® underwent months of controlled testing using tanks stocked with carp, including fish weighing over 30lb.
These trials allowed us to observe genuine feeding behaviour under controlled conditions.
The results were exceptional.
Fish consistently located treated bait quickly, investigated it aggressively and displayed prolonged feeding behaviour around bait treated with MegaMino®.
The strength of the amino signal was unlike anything we had previously witnessed.
The Ultimate Finishing Liquid
MegaMino® is an incredibly versatile bait additive and works perfectly as a finishing liquid for:
- Boilies
- Hookbaits
- Pellets
- Spod mixes
- Stick mixes
- Base mixes
Its high solubility allows it to disperse rapidly through the water, creating a strong amino trail that helps fish locate your baited area.
Whether you’re boosting ready-made bait or improving your own recipes, MegaMino® provides outstanding attraction in any situation.
Recommended Inclusion Rate
For bait making, the recommended inclusion level is:
Up to 50ml per kilogram of base mix, depending on the quantity of other liquids being used.
MegaMino® can also be used as a post-coating or finishing liquid for added attraction.
The AABaits Philosophy
At AABaits, our goal has always been simple:
To produce the highest quality bait products possible, designed specifically for fish.
Every product is developed through genuine research, formulation and extensive testing—not marketing hype.
When we state that a product contains key feeding triggers and the correct amino acid profile, those ingredients are genuinely present and correctly balanced.

Tips
DMPT
Dimethyl propiothetin (DMPT) is an algae metabolite. It is a natural sulfur-containing compound (thio betaine) and is considered the strongest attractor available. In several lab- and field tests DMPT comes out as the best feed inducing stimulant ever tested. DMPT not only improves feed intake, but also acts as a water soluble hormone-like substance. DMPT also enhances the ability to cope with stress associated with catch / transportation of fish and other aquatic animals.
Recommended inclusion level is 0.5g to 2g per Kg of base mix, (hook bait base mix only). Can be used up to 2g per Litre of liquid in bait soaks/dips. With this ultra-strong additive, less is more. If used too much the bait WILL NOT be taken.
Always use gloves, do not taste / ingest or inhale, keep away from eyes, pets and children.
Use only in hookbaits (lures) which will not be digested.
It is not allowed to be fed to fish and animals in general according to EU decree 1831/2003.
Limestone Flour
Limestone flour will provide a firmness to finished baits along with a gritty texture that will give a bit of a crunch to the boilies, Limestone flour is also high in calcium and adds weight/density to baits allowing them to be thrown further with a throwing stick.
Recommend inclusion level is up to 15% – (150g) per kg base mix.
