Hello, everyone!
I am planning on making this Apple Pie Cyser sometime this week or next. Then possibly give out bottles of it for Christmas this year. This should give it plenty of time to age and taste real good.
I had a question about yeast. I have never made a Mead before, and later this week or next I am making a Belgian Tripel. I ended up buying two packages of White Labs Belgian Abbey Ale WLP530.
If I make a 1.52L starter I will have more than enough yeast for this beer, so I was thinking instead of making a small starter and using two packages of this yeast could I use one of these yeast packages to build this Mead?
I know the Belgian yeast profile is supposed to be sweet and fruity? I know it also ferments at about the same temp most Mead yeasts do as well.
What do you all think?
Thanks in advance!
