No, I'm not showing a body part here ...
I've been making beer for years now. My wife decided that she wanted to make some mead, and I let her own the process. When it came to sanitation, she did some things that made me cringe a little, but for the most part I think it was okay.
We racked into secondary 2 days ago, and now we see this.
Some notes which may or may not help figure this out:
So, what cha think?
Cheers!

Some notes which may or may not help figure this out:
- She did not pasteurize the honey, which we have read on the interwebs and Schramm's book is not a big deal.
- She had dried elderflowers in the must.
- Yeast: WLP720. Fermaid, DAP, at the appropriate times; and some KCO3 to keep pH from getting too low.
- Primary fermentation at 68F for 20 days
- OG: 1.105, FG: 1.003, 13.4% ABV. Actual attenutaion: 77.8% (slightly higher than expected for WLP720)
- pH: 4.1
So, what cha think?
Cheers!
