What is the alcohol level that bread yeast dies out at? I did not take an SG reading on my JOAM so I don't know how much alcohol I have. I shared some with some friends the other night and it was very well recieved!

TIA, paulc

I think it is according to different variables, seems I've read where someone on here had it go up to close to 25% but it was fed in steps

25%!! :-) Surely mine is not that much! Anyone know what a "normal" jaom alcohol level is using fleishmann yeast? tia

Hum? Well I'm not aware of any yeasts commercially available that go that high, so I suspect someone was telling "porkies".

I understand that some people have managed to produce about the 12% ABV level, even with bread yeast........

But unless you do your best to take readings etc then you'll find it difficult to establish the % ABV without some very expensive hardware.....
