The MeadMakr BatchBuildr
Have you ever wondered exactly how much honey you need to make a batch of mead? Or how much nutrient you need and how to dose your must? The MeadMakr BatchBuildr is here to the rescue.
Simply use the sliders to select the batch volume you want to make, the target alcohol by volume for your mead, and your desired sweetness level. The BatchBuildr will provide your target original gravity (OG) and an estimate for the amount of honey you will need to make the batch.
The amount of honey may very depending on your honey's sugar content (the BatchBuildr assumes a 79.6% sugar content). For consistency between batches, ensure the target original gravity and vary the honey content slightly as needed to meet the OG.

General Instructions
1. Clean and sanitize everything that will come into contact with your must.
2. Dissolve honey in small amount of water (leave room to add additional water to reach batch volume).
3. Add water to your batch volume minus volume for rehydration.
4. Aerate the must with a drill stirrer or shake/stir vigorously for 15 minutes.

5. Rehydrate, temper and pitch yeast per Go-Ferm rehydration instructions below.
6. Record specic gravity and temperature for future reference.
7. Apply airlock. Ferment per your yeast temperature specs. Low 60 deg F is sucient for most wine yeasts.
8. Degas twice per day for rst week of fermentation.
9. Dose nutrients per nutrient protocol instructions below.
10. Rack when yeast is done fermenting, as evidenced by no drop in SG for two full weeks. Also rack within 3 weeks of sediment layer forming on the bottom of an aging vessel to avoid sur lie or autolysis avors.
11. When mead clears, bottle and enjoy. After 2-3 months, mead should be ready to drink.
Go-Ferm Rehydration Procedure
For 3 packet(s) yeast, dissolve 18.75g of Go-Ferm Protect in 375mL hot water (the hotter the better). The warmer the water, the easier it will be to dissolve the Go- Ferm.
When the water reaches 104 deg F (40 deg C), pour in your yeast. Give the slurry a quick swirl. After 15 minutes, begin tempering yeast by adding 188mL must to the yeast slurry every 5 minutes.When yeast slurry temperature is within 10 deg F of must temperature, pitch yeast into fermenter.
Fermaid K / Fermaid O / DAP Nutrient Protocol
The total amount of Fermaid O, Fermaid K, and DAP that will be added to your must are 10.2g, 11.4g, and 9.9g, respectively. The nutrients will be divided into 4 staggered nutrient additions. To avoid mead eruption accidents, degas must and

MeadMakr / ProudlypoweredbyWordPress
dissolve yeast nutrient doses in 1 cup must prior to adding to the fermenter.
At 24 and 48 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.1g Fermaid O to your must.
At 72 hours after you pitch your yeast, add 5.7g Fermaid K and 4.95g DAP to your must.
When the must reaches the 1/3 sugar break (1/3 of all available sugars are consumed, i.e. 1.120 starting gravity reaches 1.080 or 21 Brix reaches 14 Brix), but no later than 7 days after yeast pitch, add the last dose of 5.7g of Fermaid K and 4.95g of DAP.
If mead starts to show signs of yeast stress from low nutrients after last nutrient dose (evidenced by sulfur smells), add 5.1g Fermaid O as needed to supplement for a high nutrient requirement yeast.

Notes: A light and easy drinking lager inspired by the small Arkansas village where I was reared. A settlement of German, Swiss, and Polish coal mining immigrants Altus had a population of 418 back in the '80s. Being on the edge of a wet county, next to a dry county and home to 4 wineries and multiple other places to purchase alcoholic beverages. We loved our wine in Altus, but when taking a break from the grape, we chugged a light lager. The use of Talus hops has simply to do with the name; if you transpose the first two letters and you'll know.

Brewer's Notes:
*the mix of 2-row base malts is what I had on hand; will likely just use 6 lbs. of one type/brand in future brews
*If not using the WLP830 German Lager yeast, I will likely use Imperial G03 Dieter (Koln) Ale yeast fermented on the cool side of the recommended range and lagered

Steep for 1 hour

Use alpha amylase, which is most active in the 154-167F/68-75C range, creates longer sugar chains that are less fermentable, resulting in a beer with more body.

Boil the bittering hops for no more than 45 minutes to minimize the amount of astringency leached into the brew and thus enhance the brew’s smoothness.

Torrified wheat is used to enhance the foams thickness and stability.
