Hi all mead gurus, I'm planning for my next mead (besides the JAO v2) I'd like to do a simple straight honey, water, yeast mead. I was thinking: 1.5 Kg honey 4L water Some variety of yeast (US05?). So what I'm wondering is: what would be the recommended yeast to give a sweet mead?

Well, I finally joined the party and bought a kit. Guy at the shop set me up with a Czech Pilsener fresh kit, so I'm hoping it turns out ok. I'm up in the tropics so I figure it might ferment a little quicker? I kinda stuffed up the brew (I think). It was hot and some sweat dripped in while I...
