Are you talking about Fermaid K?

I don't use bread yeast in my meads I generally use wine yeasts.

Your recipe looks OK to me, I'd personally not use the lemon, but that's just my own preference. I think it should be fine. I'd say to swirl the jug a few times in the next couple of days in case the honey has stratified, or the yeast is not fully suspended.

Cheers,

Oskaar
