Interesting experiment guys love it!

Interesting stuff guys, thanks!

very informative

I've used DV10 on about 40 different trads with at least 30 different honeys with different nutrients and nutrient schedules and what I can tell you from my experience is if you ferment a trad with DV10 in the high 60's fahrenheit and above it can give off bitter notes (especially in the 70's and above). So some of those bitter notes could be due to the temperature you were fermenting at. DV10 is quite clean in the low 60's and below with fermaid K in my experience. With fermaid O it has been more watery and less to my liking. I still prefer Lutra from Omega to DV10 overall because Lutra has a wider temp range it can ferment in without affecting the flavor and body in negative ways while remaining mostly neutral. I'm experimenting with White Labs WLP001 right now with 4 different trads fermenting right now so I'm excited to see what that can do fermenting at about 68 F which is what we do at the meadery I work at. It's supposed to be a pretty neutral yeast used in that manner.

People shit on DAP but I've never had a problem with it. I've only recently started using fermaid o.

I always front load my fermaid k nutrients in meads and have not had a single rotten egg or stall brew since.  I also use a drill attachment to really get a lot of oxygen in at the start so that probably helps too.

Cool info ty guys 🎉

Call me crazy. But what are your thoughts on using an aquarium air pump/bubbler for the first few days of fermentation? I see some on Amazon for $13 and it makes me want to try it 🤷 really oxygenate the yeast and then removing it when entering the degassing period.

Right on guys, I was trying different nutrients myself, found that front loaded Fermaid 0 works well. Have you tried Lalvin D47 yeast. And Do you use a finisher like chitosan's or enzymes.

I am having big problems with getting a "volcano" of bubbles when I add the nutrient.  I am staggering with the stuff my local brew store sold me, which is DAP + urea.  (I've since ordered some Fermaid-O).  I heard that dissolving the nutrients in "sterile water" can help, and also off-gassing the mead via stirring can help, but this has not helped me.  I still get massive volcanoes and lose mead with each addition because so much bubbles out.  I see you adding it dry into your carboys; why do you think I am having problems?  I add at 2 days, 4 days, and 6 days.

Really Appreciate Your Video , Thanks !   🤠🐯

Mais um video excelente. Parabens pela contribuição. Um grande abraço do Brasil. Venho testando alguns hidromeis com frutas

Is there any method to making homemade fermaid O if i cannot buy fermaid O?

Have you ever made mead from coconut sugar? If you have, please provide the YouTube link, many thanks 🙏🏻🏆👍🏻

Have you tried using deactivated brewers yeast as a nutrient?

That was very interesting.

Sounds a little bit random, to be honest, othern than it definitely making a difference. There hasn't been a pattern on what staggering does or does not and it wasn't like Fermaid-O or DAP was consistently better or worse... Don't really know what to do with the results.

waiot a second. Was DV10 used in all these batches ?

What’s the point of using Fermaid K or DAP when you can use Fermaid O?

Did you adjust the PH when doing this experiment ?
