So far I've been trying to brew my stuff as 'natural' as possible without too many additives... but I'm brewing mead so that might not be possible since honey doesn't have all the nutrients yeast need. I'm offsetting it by adding raisins for now, they have all the nutrients of grapes but without the juice that'll change the flavor of the mead too much. My other batch is gonna be easier though, it'll be a cyser. Part cider, part mead. And I'm gonna use unfiltered apple juice, so the apple bits will have plenty of nutrients for the yeast. Still gonna add a few raisins anyway though, just in case. :)
