I am semi-new to meads (done about 7 one gallon batches), so I'm not sure if this is something people see on a regular basis or not.
With these two traditionals, all that is in each of them is 3lbs of honey, tap water, yeast (one with 71B and one with D47), and then I did a nutrient addition right before yeast pitch and then again about 24 hours later. It's possible that I added more nutrient (DAP) than is recommended.
Anyone know why the excessive bubbling on the surface? I've done several sour beers in the past, and it doesn't look like the beginnings of any kind of pellicle to me, and I can't detect any kind of odd smell or taste so far. Just trying to get info on why these two might be behaving like this when I haven't seen this in any of my other batches.
These batches are both about 3.5 weeks old.
Thanks for any help.
