I was reading the thread about making a starter and didn't want to hijack it so I'll start a new thread.
I've been making meads for the past year and since I'm very busy I havent been making starter or using the staggered nutrient additions. I've been rehydrating, adding the additional nutrients and energizer at the beginning and I have not had any trouble getting meads to go completely dry.
What exactly would the staggered nutrients do to help my meads? I'm making melomels and spiced meads with potential ABV of ~ 15%. Would the staggered additions likely help my meads? Has anyone noticed better taste to the meads by adding the nutrients in steps or is it done only to avoid a potential stuck fermentation?
