What’s your yeast nutrient regimen like? I’ve found it tough to get meads with high starting gravity to finish out. I’ve always assumed it was a nutrient issue? Or maybe oxygenation?

Hi Mark, I never really add any Diamonium Phophate to my meads or oxygenate them. I check the gravity after I see fermentation stop, and if it hasn’t fermented as much as I want it to, I will pitch some distiller’s yeast to it and let it finish fermenting out. Distiller’s yeast has a higher alcohol tolerance and will help dry it out. Hope that helps. Cheers! Ryan
