Mead nutrients

[Johnsbrewery]

Hi all, I’m a little confused what nutrients are best to use. A lot of people say fermaid o and k etc but I’m from the uk and the only nutrients I can find are dap and one other with dap and one other thing. Yet wilkinsons sell one that has b vitamins and aminos etc. if anyone else is from uk and has used any with good results please share

I use DAP for mead with, as a replacement for Fermaid K, Tronozymol which I’m a bit of a fan of as a general yeast nutrient.

just had a quick look at it and sounds just what I was after. So you would use dap as well? Thank you

This is my go to calculator which thankfully is back up after a while not being available. It gives a DAP & Fermaid K schedule which I’ve used to good effect before. BatchBuildr - MeadMakr
Point of note - at each staged addition in the first few days with stirring or shaking in there is a LOT of CO2 released so be prepared for a lot of foam.
