processhead Verka Mead yeast is what I use for all my mead. It’s ugly when it comes out of the package since they scrape it straight out of the barrel. You get grape seeds and all. It works very well, tolerates high alcohol levels as well, up to 18%.

Would this produce a sweet mead or be on the dry end?

RON PARRISH I give alot away. I can my banana peppers, I’ve never froze banana peppers, but I do freeze bell and jalapenos after dicing them up and packaging in to various amounts for recipes, I vac pack them and freeze for later used in chili and any other dish calling for them.

GWG8541 I never thought of freezing jalapenos, have canned a lot of them and use in recipes. This year I will try and freeze some. Living in NM we freeze green chile all the time (roasted and peeled). Usually do three gunny sacks a year, should have never taking some to other family members. LOL
