Hello all! this is referring to my first two batches of mead, both of which have come out somewhat funky.
first my original batch which was just a simple 4L batch using orange blossom honey and some lavlain ec1118 which reeks of white wine gone funky.
my second batch (13L) is using some honey i purchased from my local supermarket (pure beechworth honey), a long stick of vanilla and two packets of some lager yeast which i forgot the name of. this second batch (still fermenting) tastes oddly like soy sauce.
so do i have anything to worry about or will this all subside and i'm pulling my hair out over nothing.
cheers in advance!
