Greetings! I am currently (read, literally in the process of, as I type the must is sitting waiting for yeast) starting a batch of mead destined to be a strawberry mango mead.
I tried using a Lalvin EC1118 and RC212, but both of them failed to proof. I read the back and saw the words "Keep Refrigerated". They have been sitting on my desk for nearly 5 months.
Can anyone confirm that they in fact DID die because I did not refrigerate them?
