I have a batch of mead downstairs that has been cleared and is waiting to be bottled, and a batch of cider made with 5 gallons of apple juice and 5 lbs of honey.
both of them have a musky aftertaste to them. is this something that will go away with aging? is this common? They were made with the same kind of honey from a local Amish apiary - not sure if it's wildflower or what.
the mead was a simple one, 13 pounds of honey and 4 vanilla beans.-5 gallons.
Ideas?
the mead is now about 8 months old, the cider/honey combo is perhaps 3 months old.
