Apologies if this has been covered before. I am a fairly experienced home brewer, but just made my first mead today. I followed the beginner recipe for orange blossom mead out of the Ken Schramm book. 5 gallon batch. The recipe specifically calls for 2 tsp yeast nutrient and 1 tsp energizer. I used the LD Carlson products. The labels on the LD Carlson nutrient recommends 1 tsp PER GALLON. The energizer label calls for 1/2 tsp per gallon. Perhaps stupidly, I followed the recipe rather than the manufacturer's recommendation. Should I be concerned? If so, any recommendations for a fix? I am concerned about adding product un-sanitized. I suppose I could boil a cup of water, dissolve the missing nutrient/energizer, cool it overnight in the fridge in a sanitized pyrex with foil covering and add it in the morning. Thoughts?
Thanks,
Matt
