Hey guys,
So I'm about to brew up a 20 gallon batch of orange blossom traditional. Going to shoot for 14-15% abv and then going to barrel age it in a once used bourbon barrel. I typically use ec1118 for traditionals and k1v1116 for fruit meads. I settled on these two a while ago after trying ever yeast under the sun. I was going to use ec1118, let it take it dry then back sweeten to taste, but I got to thinking that I may be missing out on something. Is there a better yeast to use? Have heard good things about Lalvin 4x4. What are your thoughts?
Thanks
