Back after four years

Ok, I haven't brewed for a long time and I am dying for some mead. Any suggestions for a blackberry mead recipe?
Oh and does yeast nutrient have a shelf life? Mine is about four years old.

Most sites recommend 18 to 24 months depending on things like temperature and air exposure. That said, I've seen nutrient work after far longer than that. Make a bowl of nutrient broth add the yeast and see if it starts to bubble. Stranger things have happened.

Awesome thanks for the info I feel like I've forgotten so much, that I need to start all over again.
