    Very strong and potent taste?

    I just racked my JAOM batch and I took a little taste it's insanely strong like it's nasty strong I don't even want to drink it, my question is will the taste mellow out so I can taste the oranges and cinnamon and other flavors?

    Cool cucumber mead

    Yeah my cinnamon banana and raisin brew smells sour kinda like a rotten juice but it taste pretty good it surprised me and my dad both and it's only two weeks into fermenting, I think it'll be ok but I'm a novice brewer so my word is worth less than others haha.
