PIpe line is now well established
Given the wonderful outcome of my first mead, I have decided to make a second. I'm going to follow the same nutrient protocol as with the last batch using TOSNA. This time I have some potassium carbonate if I need it.
The question now is, do I use 71b-1122, or should I run with a kveik? I have an Opshaug already started that I was originally going to dry or store in slurry form to save for later, I also have some Voss and Tormodgarden, for both I would need to make a starter before pitching. There's also some Hornindal ready to go that harvested and washed from a cider. That too I was going to store as a slurry in some test tubes; there's plenty of that to use now.
I have read that folks are having great results using Kveik for mead, however, since I only have one mead under my belt, I am a little hesitant to use it this early in the mead game. If anyone has an opinion, feel free to share it
