Subject: Yeast attenuation, pyment, hippocras
Does any one out there know the attenuation of various mead-type yeasts,
namely: Red Star Pasteur Champagne,
" Pris de Mousse
" Montrachet
Vierka Mead Yeast
I'd like to be able to reliably make a slightly sweet mead, and I need to
know the EXACT percentage alcohol these wee beasties will konk out at.
Also: I just got some wild grapes (Concord-type), and I wanted to make some
Pyment & Hippocras. What kind of spices do people put in Hippocras, and do
you "brew them in", or add them later (or before serving). All of the
stuff I've seen says to put them in before serving, and I was wondering if
anyone out there had done it differently.
