OK couple of things.

Flibble,

If you read the Lallemand site, or followed my link to Morebeer.com you should have found the appropriate doses of nutrients to use for rehydration, and for addition to your meads. If not do some reading on the Morebeer website. It's contingent upon the meadmaker to to do their diligence and learn how to use the tools available.

I am using one of my tools, I'm asking you. ;)

Seriously, I've been digging all over and I can find stuff that comes 'close'. The lallemand site has tons of information on nutrient usage, but none seems specialized to D47. For the D47 recipes that I've seen you post (like the Blue Berries ones which seems very nice) I haven't found a 'vanilla' one except your suggestions on:

http://www.gotmead.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=88&topic=3710.0

But that one still has grape tannin. And even if it would be the same without the grape tannin, is this one of the ones that you can get through primary (with stirring, etc) in 10 days?

I don't have access to the blogs yet, BTW, so I don't know if you have on there. The Recipes section has some, but not traditionals for D47. Basically I'm looking for a dosing scheme using D47 and matching nutrients for a very basic mix to start from so I can evolve from there.

Dude, do a little reading! I know you can based on your very good questions.

Oh, I've been doing lots of reading! I'm just too stoopid to find an answer.

So how much Go-Ferm and Fermaid-K should I get?
You're going to be using this stuff in every batch so you may as well stock up. MoreWine sells Fermaid-K in 80g sizes and Go-Ferm in 100g sizes. You can get larger quantities too if you need them.
