Ok.. you did what I did when I first started... basically played they will it ferment game, and threw crap into a pot and poured yeast on it. It makes booze, but not something enjoyable. What you initilly mixed up some would call maple wine, and they would be right. But you intended to "jack"...

If your just looking to do a gallon I suggest looking at the store for any beverage in a gallon glass jug. I used to buy one of the cheap robust reds in the gallon jug to make roasts and cook with. Take a look at JAOM its simple easy and makes a halfway decent product. Alot of us even like to...

in repsonse to fat bloke [love the name btw] I intentionally didn't use some of my favorite yeasts like d47 or ec-1118, I wanted to use a cheap yeast, that I didnt have information on. This made me solely focus on the basics of yeast heath [proper nutrition and good cell health before being put...

I absolutely agree Most meads will improve with age, a certain sweetness seems to come back to them after a longer aging period and flavors seem to get stronger. This is more or less a kind of mannifesto to people curious about mead but keep getting turned off by "masters of the craft"...
