I just racked my first BOMM into a carboy today. I tried a sample of it and it really tasted like dry white wine. As it continues to age will that change or will the taste stay about the same?

The 5 gallon batch

I guess I couldn't feel it but I smacked it last night and the bag swelled a bit after 3 hours. I put it in a flask with 1800ml water, 1/2 cup honey, and 1 tsp of GoFerm on a stir plate. What should I look for over the next couple days to tell if it's working? The BOMM recipe says to keep it on...

I just got my order of supplies to make my first batch of mead. The WYEAST 1388 packet seems like the starter packet inside may have been popped already. The bag isn't tight like it has been activated, however I can't feel the starter packet inside.

I want to make a batch of mead with just honey and I am looking for a 5 gallon recipe. I have a 7.9 gallon fermenter and 5 gallon glass carboy and all the accessories. Looking for some advice on a good recipe for a honey mead without fruit.
