Hi guys.
So I want to have a go at making up a 1 gallon batch of mead and I'm using 3.75 pounds of orange blossom honey as I prefer it sweet. Annoyingly I can't tell you what the type of yeast I'm using is as here in the UK it is very much a one for all general wine making yeast but that's fine. What I'm really trying to test here is using something other than chemicalised yeast nutrient and energizer. I read somewhere that you can cut up orange segments and add raisins and use that. I was wondering if anyone has any experience of this and/or any ideas on alternatives to avoid the chemicals?
Cheers all
