Brewer notes

Sweet Mead is a liquid wine culture from Wyeast (4184). Fermentation character can show fruity notes. Useful for mead. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 80–85%, fermentation range about 18–24°C (64.4–75.2°F), alcohol tolerance around 11%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
