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!

Hum? Well I'm not aware of any yeasts commercially available that go that high, so I suspect someone was telling "porkies".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
So a traditional not JAO ? 71b will do 14% but its caveat is that its not known as being good for sur lie/batonage aging. The guesstimate is about 2 months after the ferment is complete to prevent autolysis off flavours. Nothing scientific about that just that I've not read any report of problems with that time frame....I realize that this is an old post but I pitched some yeast tonight into what I think of as a variant of JAOM. I just measured the SG of the must. One gallon of water with 3.5 lbs of clover honey gave me an SG of 1.130 or more than about 17.5 % ABV. I am making a gallon but am using 71B -1122 and not bread yeast. I added acid blend rather than oranges (the pH is 3.83). I am also using nutrient and energizer rather than raisins.
