Hmmm. All good suggestions. I'm about to throw up an update, I decided to do a little more independent research (which I should've just done in the first place) and I think I might go with one of the Lavlin strains, either the D-47 or the EC-1118. I know I'm breaking the first rule of homebrewing, but I'm definitely stressing on this because I would really like for this to be a decent batch for Christmas with my family.

I highly recommend getting some real brewer's yeast. It'll help the flavor immensely. And it's certainly not expensive.

Also, I second everyone else on the airlock thing. It's hugely important in preventing infection and preserving flavor.

What yeast did you use?

I've used both Lalvin 71B-1122 and Lalvin D-47. The 71B was very drinkable shortly after racking while the D-47 is best left for about 6 months. Those were both recommended in the forums I read prior to starting mead making.
