Hello,
I've never actually posted here, as most of my questions can be answered with a little digging.
I'm new to making Mead, so I thought I'd start out with something fairly simple: Jack Keller's recipe for a Red Raspberry Melomel. I used Lalvin 71B-1122 and the rest of the recipe was done verbatim. I did a one gallon batch but didn't have a small bucket for the primary. The lady at the homebrew store said this wouldn't be a problem. I went to stir it this morning and decided to get a good smell (I must admit I love the yeast fart smell). When I took a good whiff the smell was almost...well...it felt like my nose was burning off. Maybe it's something being produced by the yeast...maybe I've just never gotten that close..I'm at a loss. Someone help!!
BTW: heres the recipe if it helps. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques28.asp The Red Raspberry Melomel is about 3/4 the way down the page.
Cheers!
