I am going to try the bread yeast when it is available covid homebakers have sucked up all the supply in my area , I have a question, Did you add any yeast nutrient to the bakers yeast? Great read!!

I never gave bread yeast any credit for a whiskey. Rightfully so, never gave turbo any credit either. I like the champagne yeast for mead and for my late friend will distill a large batch down to a brandy. I like a whiskey mash of corn, 2-row and rye.
