I am looking to make my first mead and I will going with the Joe's Ancient Orange recipe. In haste, at my LHBS, I picked up a pack of Lalvin K1V1116 to use in my first batch. I will be using a 6.5 gallon glass carboy to ferment then rack to 5 gallon secondary for clearing and aging.
My quesiton: Will the Lalvin K1-V1116 be suitable for mead? And will one packed due the trick or do I need more?
Also, should I rehydrate before I pitch the yeast or just get the mix close to temperature and pitch then?
Thanks in advance, have a lot to learn.
