Being new to the world of making mead there are things that appear to go against the grain from a beer brewer's point of view.
I have a mead in the primary and need to add yeast nutrient and I have read in several places to add the nutrient and stir. Does additional oxygen not affect mead the same as it does ales and lagers? Should I add the nutrient dry?

That's ok- we wouldn't expect any less from George W ;)
Joking
But on a serious note- you want to add oxygen to your liquor at the beginning so the yeasties can begin their hot orgy and poopfest. Also, yeast nutrient can be added dry and should be done so.
Happy meading!
