The fact that you're asking here and that you haven't already started working on filling it up with semen tells us everything we need to know about you, newfriend

>>13573153
should I put the yeast in before or after the semen?

Ok, 300 things. You'll never make enough in those toys. Get a Brute Food Safe garbage can. RedStar yellow pack is fine. But you'll do better with SAF. It tastes better. You need to know how SG works with the sugar you're adding to the water which changes the level at which yeast cell lysis. At a certain level of concentration you murder your yeast. That's why I use big vats and bread yeast. My starting SG is 1.086 down to .990.

But seriously, grab some champagne yeast and honey.

that's what I was thinking of going with but I've honestly never drank Mead and I don't know if it would be good

Do you enjoy dry white wines? If not, you can always add some honey back in after the ferment.

According to your yeast I'd say bread.
