I'd like to use a basic recipe... I'd like to try liquid yeast because I can find it really easy... here I can get only dry yeast for homebrew... (only 5-6%)
I have tried both the dry mead and sweet mead yeasts from Wyeast. I have not tried any others from Wyeast.
The dry yeast worked out nicely, but I made a starter with it first. The sweet yeast never did much and I had to pitch a dry yeast later. I used the sweet yeast by just adding it directly into the must.
I only use the dry yeasts now (Pasteur Champagne) because:
If you decide to use the Wyeast, I strongly recommend you start a day or two early and make a good starter.
Good luck and have fun!
