i have now made almost 50 gallons of mead on the same yeast. am i doing my part to create a smaller carbon foot print or just makin awsome drink?
it started with a maple mead ( making syrup is hard and to acheave around 21% by volume you only need to cook sap down about 15 gallons to 1 gallon)
then it was elderberries and honey. then strawberries and molases.ect..........
and finaly this year is wild berry ie... elderberries blueberries black berries and boisen berries. along with about 17 pounds of local honey thats almost clear.
this is batch 12 i think
it started as 1 batch now iv just used the sludge from the previous batch and devided it into 2 so at the moment i have 4 carboys with the same yeast.
and suprisingly enough it works and the only nutreient i use is a small amount of basimati rice.
P.S. elderberries in mead are so tart you cant help but smile as soon as you taste it and say ummmmmmmm
