After brewing beers for 9 months a friend has asked me to make him a traditional "old world" mead for him. I found an interesting read... The Closet of Sir Kenelm Digby Knight Opened
There are plenty of old mead recipes but most sound pretty gross, including a lot of spices that would not compliment a mead.
My friend would like a semi sweet mead. I would like to start on this today. It will be a cyser mead.
The yeasts I have on hand are....Nottingham, Red star montrachet, US-05 and Red Star Premier Cuvee.
Of these, what would you use for the above mead style and why? Thanks!
