7 YEASTS vs MEAD | First Impressions | Part 2

We are having our first tasting of the seven different yeasts we used in our melomel mead. This is a month after. Each yeast strain interacts differently with the fruit sugars, so we should experience unique characteristics for each batch. Some of our first impressions were exactly as expected; others, however, were a complete surprise.
After racking we added 350 ml of juice to each to improve sweetness.

Great experiment!

[@patrickcorbett8361]

I liked this test....is the ABV the same for all ?.... did you sanitize the Siphon ( the jacker lol !) before before each racking ?
Thanks

Yes. The ABV was around 12% for each. And yes we sanitize the siphon before and in between each brew.
