I'm ordering a kit this weekend to make small gallon batches. I want to make mead.
I was reading up on Lalvin D-47 Wine Yeast from this website:
http://monsterbrew.com/Prod_1GallonMeadRecipeKit.cfm
I'm just going to buy my own honey elsewhere and get that yeast. I was told from someone I can mix 1/2 gallon water with honey and yeast.
But anyway, they have the yeast separately here:

But read the last part:
An excellent choice for producing mead, however be sure to supplement with yeast nutrients, especially usable nitrogen.
Do I need anything else? Is there a basic mead recipe or is the above sound alright?
