i'm brewing my first mead also and it's for a week by now, the smell is a bit sour, like beer, is that ok??
and for how long does it have tobrew till it's ready??
cheers
and what about mead??
is mead's PH low enough to avoid botulism???
this is my first attempt to brew mead and some people scared the cheat out of me saying that there could be stuff like that on a omebrew mead.
