    Hey will got a question, what is the lifespan of yeast? I have a pack of lavlin yeast in the fridge for a year, do you think it will be ok?

  • @405OklahomaBrewing difficult to say, it should have an expiration date on it? no? but, being in the fridge helps. I say go for it and see, within a day you will know if it is ok.

  • Why would anyone thumbs down this guy? He's just teaching you how to make a wonderful Honey Wine. BTW, between the D-47, EC-1118, and the K1-V1116 yeasts which one do you most recommend for best flavor?

  • @sypoth flavor is a matter of taste I would guess. But I lean toward the D-47 for taste. But, the K1 is great for beginners because it is active and aggressive.

  • @epicfantasy Thanks for the info, also if I wish to make a smaller batch, say only one gallon do I simply reduce all the quantities by five or is there a more specific reduction?

  • @sypoth yes , reduce by five but use one packet of yeast. dont' reduce yeast by five.

  • @irishlore Good luck! Dunno about the distilling. Tends to be dangerous.

  • Just ordered the kits and going to make mead for my first batch. If you distill mead would you end up with some kine of honey brandy

  • Could I make a really small batch of mead in a 70cl wine bottle?
