I was thinking about starting my first mead in several years today. I'm trying to decide what nutrients I may need. It's a short mead so it may not need much.
1.25 lbs honey (a combination of clover, basswood, and goldenrod)
2 bags of lapsang souchong tea
2 oz of dried juniper berries
Water to one gallon
Yeast Lavin 71B
The tea and the juniper berries should have plenty of nutrients, right? Especially for a low alcohol mead. Is there anything that this would be missing or not just not enough of? Any other suggestions are appreciated. I've been making beer for a while and have forgotten anything I may have thought I knew about mead.
Thanks!
