Notes

Lalvin 71B-1122 Dry Yeast

1tsp per gallon Lalvin Fermaid-K*

Staggered Nutrients:
Day 0: After pitching the yeast, add 4.5 g of Fermaid-K and 2 g Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)
Day 1, 3, 5, 7, 8: Degas mead by gently stirring, twirling the carboy carefully, or using a wine degasser
Day 2, 4, 6: Gently stir and add 4.5 g Fermaid-K and 2 g of DAP
NOTE: When degassing and/or adding nutrients, do so very slowly to avoid foam ups reminiscent of an elementary school volcano in the science fair.
