MeadmakerI used this for a true mead, and a melomal... both turned out great. Left some honey, so no need to back sweeten.... ended around 13% ABV, 5 gallon batches, approx. 13lbs honey- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)

This is my first time for making mead . I have have made fruit wine for some time now. Erratic bubbles in the air lock and lack of activity in the must told me the yeast was not working. After two additional energized and nutrient applications, still not adequate. After research, I found that one package of yeast was only good to s.g.1.065 the recipe I am using calls for1.100 s.g. which requires 3 packs of yeast. This information should be available at time of purchase and should have full chart on the amply sized package.- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)

Start typing your question and we'll check if it was already asked and answered. Learn MoreBrowse 2 questions Browse 2 questions and 8 answersCan a dry yeast be used in place of wyeast 4184?BEST ANSWER: Thanks for contacting Northern Brewer. I understand you would like a dry yeast for making mead. You could use Lalvin D-47 (Y102), or Lalvin EC-1118 (Y104) Prise De Mousse for making mead. Just be sure to also get several packets of yeast nutrient because you are going to want to add it several times at 24 hour intervals. Cheers!

Is this suitable for 1 gallon batches?BEST ANSWER: I believe it's made for a 5 gallon batch but it won't hurt to over pitch. Just make sure fermentation doesn't get too hot and maybe transfer to a 2ndary fermentor after a month or 2 to avoid autolysis. Or better yet, make a few 1 gallon batches and split it up.- Reply
