Date: 2020-05-25

Welcome to the first episode of "Yeast Shootout". We are going to be facing these two yeast against each other in a Wild West fashion! These two meads have the exact same recipe and will be given the same amount of yeast nutrient & energizer. The only difference between these two meads is that they will have different yeasts in them. I am going to be rating these yeasts performances with the mead recipe using a score sheet. If you want to see the rules for these shootouts go check out the video here https://youtu.be/JgsJT8HdADQ .

Mead Making is an art that people have enjoyed doing for years. It's something that intermediate to expert people can do and I'm somewhere in between. I've really enjoyed trying to use lots of different flavors in my meads like: Apple, Peach, Mango, Pear, Traditional, Elderberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, Maple Syrup, Apple Pie, Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry, Chocolate, Bochets, Bochet, White Chocolate, Cilantro, Peaches, Melomels, Melomel, Acerglyn, Hydromel, Berries, Berry, Capsicumel, Peppers, Fenugreek. Some of my favorite meads have been the big blueberry mead, apple cinnamon mead, Bochet, OK Bochet, Raspberry Bochet, Mixed Berry Mead, Orange Cream mead, and Peppermint mead. I focus on how to make mead and how to make mead for beginners and hopefully anyone who wants to continue to grow in their mead making.
