no such answer exists. There's dozens of great wine and high attenuation ale yeasts that make great mead.
it depends on final ABV, and style of mead, what yeast will accentuate it the best, and how much nutrient and energizer (activator?....) you'll need.
melomels and pyments and cysers often have plenty of nitrogen to require no energizer.
You should have a look through gotmead. There's a lot of different yeasts that can be used. Each of those different yeasts has a different characteristic i.e. some like a lot of nitrogen, others not so much. some need to be removed from the yeast relatively quickly after the ferment has finished, others can just sit there with no problems.I am looking for a good yeast and yeast energizer combo for a plain medium sweet mead.
Any places you guys recommend online for buying such items?
Thanks!
