The key here was quick access. It was mainly just an impatience problem and the batch is only a gallon so as long as the yeast makes alcohol and not battery acid I will be happy. Thanks for the quick replies and next time I will wait for a better yeast.
I just wanted to make a test batch of mead and didn't have quick access to anything but Fleischmann's yeast. How badly will this affect the final product? I was also curious about what kind of alcohol content the yeast could handle.
Thanks in advance,
Josh
