Hello all!
I have a friend who has been making mead for a while, and he claims that yeast becomes better at fermenting honey if you harvest it and use that for your next batch. He claims that this harvesting and re-usage of yeast gives the mead a much better taste. But when I scroll this forum I never see harvesting mentioned, everyone seems to use new yeast packages for every batch.
The ones of you who brew a lot mead, do you harvest and re-use or do use new yeast every time?
Thanks!
