The right yeast is essential for crafting high-quality mead, influencing fermentation speed, alcohol tolerance, and flavor complexity. Whether you're making a traditional dry mead, a fruity melomel, a spiced metheglin, or a bold sack mead, selecting the right strain ensures proper attenuation, balance, and character.
Our Mead Yeast collection includes a variety of liquid and dry yeast strains from trusted brands like Lalvin, Red Star, Mangrove Jack’s, Wyeast, and White Labs. These strains offer high alcohol tolerance, clean fermentations, and nuanced ester profiles, helping brewers achieve everything from crisp and refreshing to rich and full-bodied meads.
To support healthy fermentation and prevent stuck fermentations, we also recommend using yeast nutrients, staggered nutrient additions (SNA), and proper aeration. All of our liquid yeast is stored under strict temperature control with 24-hour monitoring to maintain peak viability.
