making mead

ok i posted something on homebrewing but i found a couple ways of making mead and i was wondering what the proof it will be im guessing around the same as beer or wine like 10 to 15 proof,also it says epernay II yeast i dont know what epernay yest is i know what regualr yest is, it says i can use champagna of ale yeast but i dont know what these are either ,and can i buy epernay II yest or champage and al yeast at the store like regular yeast.it said not to use bakers yeast.​

Ingredients​

​

1 Gallon Water​

3 lbs Honey (1 quart)​

1 Lemon​

12 Cloves​

1 cup strong tea​

Epernay II yeast​

Add the honey to one gallon of boiling water. Turn off the heat and stir well. Slice or juice the lemons and add along with the clove and tea. Let stand covered until cool. Pour into a gallon jug and add the yeast. Epernay II yeast works very well, but champagne yeast or ale yeast are also fine.Let it ferment for 18 days, and then siphon into bottles. Seal or cap the bottles and let sit at room temperature for two weeks, then put in the refrigerator. You can drink it at any. time now.​

 

check out your local homebrewing store, they should have the yeast you are looking for.
