My hat is off to all of your knowledge in here, there's some great minds!
I would like to make organic brews. I'm interested in Mead and apple cyser/apple brews more than anything right now. I really like the idea of wild fermentation because there's nothing more natural than that, and I've had success with it with the handful of brews I've done so far.
Questions:
1. Is there an organic yeast or something very close to it (non-gmo) that anyone has used with success?
2. Can I take some of a wild-fermented brew and "capture" that strain so to speak for continual use down the road?
3. Is there a likely chance that I can just keep wild-fermenting my brews with a high rate of success?
4. Does anybody have any solid advice for me?
I'm using a 6.5 g glass carboy and half gallon Mason jars until I can afford more carboys. Ive just been putting some organic juice in, measuring my organic sugar and adding measured amounts of organic fruits and letting it do its thing. If I could find a good organic/non-gmo yeast i could use to speed things along or at least be educated in a way to make it as natural as possible I would greatly appreciate it.
Also for what it's worth I strongly prefer carbonation!
Thank you all in advance for your time and help!
