What kinds of yeast do you all use to make mead? I wanted to make a very authentic historical mead. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I really like that Mangrove Jack's mead yeast. It produces a good deal of esters during fermentation (technically, it is a wine yeast) like ethyl acetate, which is delicately fruity like apple or pear. Not overpowering. Really draws out the honey character. Just make sure you use good honey!Thank you all for the replies, I think I'll probably go with mangrove jacks mead yeast. What flavors do you get from that yeast?
I used D-47 for my first ever batch, it’s 14% tolerant, took mine awhile, but ended up with an AVB of 13.8% (long formula). Very pleased with the outcome.What kinds of yeast do you all use to make mead? I wanted to make a very authentic historical mead. Any suggestions?
