So I got bored the other day and, not having a homebrew kit yet, decided I don't need no stinkin brew kit and set out to get a batch of mead going. I had about half a pound of honey left sitting around and some bread yeast. So my solution was to use an old smirnoff bottle (cleaned it out as best I could before hand) to brew the mead in. Put a hole in the cap of the bottle, ran a small plastic hose from my wife's vacuum sealer from the bottle into a jar filled with water to form the airlock (sealed the area around the cap and hose with candle wax). It's now bubbling nicely.
My question: As I just used straight up bread yeast without any type of activator or nutrient, about how long will it take for this batch to finish?
