Yeast Shootout Finale: All 16 Yeasts vs 1 Mead Recipe
Channel: Man Made Mead
Date: 2022-07-18

Today we are finally finishing the Yeast Shootout series. If you don't know what the yeast shootout is, it's a series where we take 2 yeasts and 1 mead recipe - we pit them against each other to see which one is better. I made a grand total of 8 videos and you can find that playlist here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB12fElSj4Xl0pMnkGYnfim2jLOQX9uml
