After succesfully doing this small JAOM recipe, I want to translate it to fit a bigger container of 20L. I have calculated the ratio to about 4.5 which will make 18 liters of content in my 20L container.
http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/32762-jao-the-ultimate-beginners-mead-recipe/
Normal ratio: As seen in the JAOM recipe above.
Ratio of 4.5 for a 20 liter container with 18 liters of actual content:
- Honey, 7.2kg
My question is, will I still be able to use the normal bread yeast like in the small recipe, and just adjust it to fit the ratio? Is there such a thing as using too much yeast? Also, should I actually hydrate my yeast now that the content is much greater so that it can blend more with the content?
Any input is appreciated.
