Hello, I'm new to the forums and have been studying the making of mead for the past few weeks. There is quite a bit of information to sort through, and I'm an amateur which makes it even harder. I have no brewing experience, so I'm heavily dependent on the experiences of others.
I'm a student of history, undergraduate with a double major in History and Education. I will attempt a first mead and the way I'm going to do it is just take what I really like and try to infuse it into a mead.
I have a first question and want to see if there are any experiences with what i'm using for yeast nutrition. I want to grind up tea leaves into a powder, and use that in place of yeast nutrition. I'm assuming, if a simple mead recipe for starters calls for "raisins" as the nutrition for the yeast, and with reading I've done, tea leaves can also be used (and I'm an avid tea drinker.) Is this advisable for a first mead?? I'm planning on a small 1 gallon batch to test my knowledge so far. Thanks!
