I am looking to do a test batch of 3-4 1 gallon meads. I have two options but I am not sure which will be the most educational to do first.
Option A is to use a different honey in each batch but keep the yeast (and everything else) the same.
Option B is to get all the same honey but divide up and use different yeasts. Nutrients would be applied to the yeasts listed needs for high or low.
Has anyone done these tests and did you learn more from the different honey types or the effect from the different yeast on a honey.
While I know this is not a perfect test as some yeasts might be better with different types of honey, I am hoping to learn more about the flaver profiles that are created from honey or yeast. Then be able to better estimate the effects on future batches. Just gotta figure out which is better to know first...
