i think ill try a batch of straight mead first. im using the lavlin 71b-1122 
used for the pyment. i did buy some lavlin ec-1118 also because of the 
higher tolerance. i wasnt able to find either in the liquid form and was 
told it doesnt come that way, so i may try something diff if i can find it 
in liquid. i figure on my first batch the fewer things i can screw up the 
better lol
