>LALLEMAND products, but not LALVIN
Same company.
>Do I need to pasteurize the honey to 77-78°C before mixing it with water?
Fuck no.
>Or pasteurization is completely useless?
It's bad for the aromatics of the honey.
>I mean, honey density is “random”,
Only if you use bootleg honey. EU has a LOT of regs on honey water content.
>how do I reach it with precision?
Double check with a hydrometer. Tweak if needed. I usually start a little low on water and fill to a precise gravity.

> Asked in facebook groups and they said
fuck 99% of the hacks on facebook making prison hooch. I love 1118 (champagne yeast) but there is a time and place for it and it's not "all traditionals"
>I’m scared to make errors
So read the wiki.
>seems to be prohibited to introduce living yeasts from other countries

And boiled bakers yeast gets you a good, hearty yeast to learn with, nutrients from the dap and boiling bread yeast is poor mans fermaid O.
> Bentonite is fine with traditional meads, but I read that for melomels there are pectolytic enzymes, otherwise bentonite won’t work. Is it correct?
Not even remotely.
>are the bottles with screw cap fine for the purpose?
Never, they don't hold a seal for shit when recapped. I am assuming you don't have a refoiling device or whatever that kind of capper is called.
Not sure if these links will work for you but these are what I use

They work great for me, and my mead always ferments dry in less than a week by staggering. In fact I just hit a new record on my current 5 gallon batch SG 1.100 to 1.000 in 4 days.
If you want way too much information for a beginner, I'd suggest reading the white paper by /u/balathustrius. I use the LD carlson energizer and LD carlson nutrient, these are the exact ones I ordered from amazon:

those quantities are enough for 50+ gallons of mead or so, though.
Semi-sweet to sweet is what I think I want, maybe 14% Abv. Yes, I did mean sulfites. I want to make one batch with pears and one traditional, here are the yeast nutrients I was looking at using, and my basement in the winter is always below 70f. Ill look into some of the other stuff you are talking about though. Thanks!
