Russell,

Since yeast is a living organism, it needs a source of protein as well as
sugar if it is going to be able to multiply. This is because protein
contains nitrogen and sulfur which are not found in sucrose. It would also
need a phosphorous source to be able to make DNA and RNA. I believe that
only a fairly small quantity of these are needed (and they are often
included in packets of yeast which are sold for various purposes - and I
think it is often called "yeast food"). You should only need enough to
multiply the yeast to the desired quantity and to make up for losses when
you transfer out some of the ethanol.
