Hi
I really need your experience to know if my first gallon of mead is ruined...
I was supposed to bottling my mead this weekend... but the taste is... not ok.
During the first fermentation I think I did a mistake. After 3 days the airlock had no activity, so I used another bag of yeast, and no result... So I tried another lid. The new one was sealed with rubber, not the first one... I found the reason of "no activity".
So I waited until the first fermentation, and I did the other one. One month later, tonight, I tasted and I don't taste the honey, the alcool is super high and the taste has a really strong yeast taste and its super dry.
So what I have to do ? Begin again and forget this one or can do something to save it ?
