Made a second batch of JAOM and, on the suggestion of many online posts, decided to try Wyeast's Sweet Mead yeast instead of bread yeast. What I didn't catch was that this yeast probably won't carry it to the same finish as bread yeast and the 3.5 lb honey to water gallon ratio might be over the top sweet. That being said, I decided to additionally pitch the bread yeast shortly after pitching the Wyeast.
While not exactly a planned sequence, I'm hoping is that bread yeast will carry it to completion while possibly getting a little of the better qualities of the Wyeast.
Thoughts? Anyone ever intentionally combined yeast strains? Any potential serious issues with this?
