I made my 1st mead on 7/7.
Racked it on the 7/22 and it cleared really nicely.
It was a simple mead.
2.5lbs honey
Water
Yeast D-47 (packet)
I added a tbs of vanilla extract and about 25 raisins to the original fermenter.
I was still new to the process and didn't take an OG reading.
I did take a reading yesterday and it was just under 1.000.
It tasted really flat and had an essence of plastic.
I decided to bottle it as I could read the ingredients on a label through my Carboy.
Any constructive criticisms?
What would cause the plasticy taste?
