Will be doing a mead this afternoon. If anyone sees this in time and has some experience with meads, is there a close substitute for go-ferm during yeast rehydration? I have on hand LD Carlson Yeast Energizer, Fermax yeast nutrient and some Wyeast Nutrient blend. I believe the go-ferm is primarily composed of yeast-derived minerals/vitamins that help initial cell wall development. I've also heard that DAP added too soon can be stressful to the yeast. I suspect the Wyeast blend may be most appropriate.
Any thoughts?
