9-25-18 We’re dropping into teaching mode tonight, and bringing in Ryan to talk mead. He’ll be digging into pairing yeasts to your mead recipes.
Possibly one of the larger questions in mead making is ‘what yeast do I use?’. And a big question is is indeed. There are hundreds of yeasts out there, for wine, beer, cider and even a few mead specific yeasts.
But which one to choose? That is the question. Ryan is going to try to help you narrow this down, so you can make more focused yeast choices for your upcoming mead batches.
We’re even giving you homework! Download the 2018 ScottLab Yeast Handbook for reference during the show tonight.
Click the chat link below to join us live, and ask questions for Ryan and the team. See you online!
