Tips
- Remember our sweet whey powder can be used to add binding to any mix. Start by adding 5% – 50g per kg mix, you can then adjust accordingly. Adding more will increase the binding, vice versa adding less will decrease the break down time. This is to be added to the dry mix, then mixed very well before wetting.
- We recommend slowly adding water/liquid additives to any mix, be careful not to add too much water. A nice fluffy texture that still breaks down is ideal. Too much water can make a mix go hard. More water can always be added if required, but it can’t be removed.
- 1L pump spray bottle is ideal for wetting mixes, also great for mixing liquid additives with water before wetting mix.
- Once desired texture is achieved keep in an air tight bucket/container, this helps stop it from drying out.

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.

- 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.

Cocoa Powder
£13.49 – £949.99Price range: £13.49 through £949.99
Cocoa Powder
Description
Cocoa Powder Light Brown – 10–12% Fat
Light Brown Cocoa Powder is a premium-grade, alkalised cocoa powder manufactured from carefully processed cocoa beans. With a cocoa butter content of 10–12%, it offers a smooth, classic cocoa profile alongside a light-to-medium brown colour, making it an extremely versatile ingredient for use within boilie, groundbait, stick mix and spod mix formulations.
Unlike natural cocoa powder, this product has been alkalised (Dutch processed) to reduce its natural acidity. This produces a smoother, more rounded cocoa taste and aroma while giving the powder its consistent light brown appearance.
The fine particle size allows it to disperse evenly throughout dry mixes, making it particularly useful where a consistent cocoa profile and colour are required throughout the finished bait.
With its distinctive chocolate aroma and palatability, cocoa powder works particularly well alongside milk proteins, birdfoods, nut meals, biscuit meals and sweet or creamy flavour profiles. It can also be incorporated at lower levels into fishmeal-based formulations to add another layer to the overall taste and aroma profile.
