Ok I've looked at my notes -
For the wildflower mead I bottled that had a yeast aftertaste (most recent one)
1) I made a mistake with the yeast type I actually used 71b-1122..however the other mead I made last year was made with ec1118.
2) Started Apr 12/13 - racked to secondary at May 7
3) Sept 12 bottled - if I did rack in between there's no notes of it. There was barely any lees in it - at the very most a 1/4 inch probably less.
So maybe I should of insured there was no lees period?
The first mead I made that had a yeasty aftertaste was a sparkling Cranberry/Blackberry...this one was made with EC1118 and was racked 4 times all about 30 days apart. With this one I bottle carbonated with adding honey before bottling. Maybe this made more yeast ?
