I'm working on a recipe for a 6-7% ABV mango and black pepper mead (melomel? metheglin?) and I want a yeast that will contribute to / enhance some of those characteristics.
It seems like going with a Belgian Golden or Belgian Strong ale yeast might be a good choice but I've never tried using an ale yeast in a mead before. I don't see any reason why it shouldn't ferment properly assuming I give it the right amount of nutrients and keep the temperature in check.
Has anyone tried something like this before?
