Folks - bear in mind that the Digest only comes out when there's something
to send. If you don't get a Digest for a few days, it means that nothing
has been submitted. I don't send empty digests and I will delay slightly
to avoid sending single-article issues. Submissions have been "bursty"
lately, so the Digest has appeared more erratically than usual.

For whoever is keeping track of this:
I apologize in advance, but this is only a regional source of commercial
meads. They only ship within a 6 state region.
Spurgeon Vineyards in Highland, Wisconsin makes two styles of traditional
meads; a sweet and a dry. Both are made with Wisconsin honey, yeast and
yeast nutriment. Both of the types I tasted are clean and uncluttered,
with only the honey flavor coming through. They are good samples of the
style. They also have a line of wines and fruit wines, but I am
unqualified to judge them.
They ship within the following area: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana and Michigan. They take telephone orders at
(608) 929-7692 or (800) 236-5555. There are two retail stores in the
Madison, Wisconsin area. One is the winery in Highland, the other is
the Bountiful Harvest Winery at the intersection of I90-94 and Hwy. 60
in Lodi, Wisconsin. You can call for additional information.

Subject: YL-M61 Dry Mead Yeast Temperature Range

A quick question. Does anyone know the temperature range for the M61
strain from Yeastlab? I've got a Cherry Melomel (22 litres) prep'd and I
just pitched the slurry from a 2 litre culture of the above yeast. Current
ambient temp is 15C (59F), and I expect the actual fermentation temp to
exceed that by the usual 2-3 degress C. I decided to try the cooler
conditions to help preserve fruit essence but I'm concerned that the temp
may be too low for this strain. I also have rooms at 19C (67F) and 22C
(72F) if I need to bump up the ambient temperature. Any and all comments
would be appreciated.
I do not receive this digest so please send mail directly to me and carbon
copies to the digest. Thanks and take care.
