    I think i may have killed it...

    Hey everybody, so I'm fairly new to home brewing. I've made a few successful batches of beer, and I'm now trying my hand at a basic mead. At the suggestion of the guy at my local brewshop, I picked up about 13 lbs of blueberry honey, yeast (wyeast smack pack, I've forgotten the actual strain...
