I have never made a mead before so I figured I would give it a shot. I was brewing some beer the other day and had a starter going with San Diego Super Yeast. I pitched the yeast and after 6 hours no fermentation yet, so I started another starter the same way San S/Y and about a cup of light malt extract. The beer took off about 2 hours after starting the starter so I figured I would use it for mead. My question is with the cup of light dry extract give it an off flavor? I'm making a two gallon batch with 7lbs of orange blossom honey. Also how long can I leave the starter on the magnetic starter plate? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
My recipe is per 2 gallons
7 Lbs Honey
14 pts water
6 tsp of Malice Acid
3 tsp Tartaric Acid
1/2 Tannin
1 1/2 tsp Energizer
2 Crushed Campden
