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.
