There is really only three ways to do an all natural recipe while still adding nutrients. Two if you are picky about Fermaid O.

1. Boiled yeast for nutrients.
2. Fermaid O.
3. Add fruit. Traditional mead is out with this option.

In my post All Natural BOMM, I have some calculated values for what different fruits add as far as nutrients. Check that out as a starting point.

Yeast will be important here. You definitely don't want a nutrient hog and you better have a solid pitch rate to avoid problems.


Better brewing through science!

There are others -Bee pollen, malt extract, and show mead strategies (such as large biomass pitch) are some examples.
 
There you have it. Medsen and Jack are far more qualified to write an all natural article.

I try to write about things I know and remain silent when I don't know! This is one of those silent times.

That was the way of the olden days before they invented fermaid, scoop out the skep, pile it all in a pot and cook it up, pour off the way, strain out whatever is left over and toss in some bread for yeast, old age all natural :) WVMJ
