Never made or even tasted mead before.. I have a friend who is asking me if I can make him some...
And since I've been curious about the stuff anyways, I told him 'maybe'
So I'm wondering what the difference is in process between making mead and Ale...
It is called a 'braggot' and uses Lalvin D-47 yeast..
What temp does this yeast ferment at? How long does mead need to ferment, and how long does it need to condition and at what temperature?
How vigorous is the ferment? Do I need to account for more krausen head space and blowoff that I typically have with my IPA's?
Is the brew process basically the same as beer?
Thanks
