This is my second batch of Cyser, last years batch didn't have enough spice Cinnamon, clove, all spice.
Soooo this time I added more, now the clove gives it a clove chewing gum taste.
I only spiced 3 gallons, and reserved the rest without spice.
I see three options:
1. add the reserved 1-2 gallons back in hopes of diluting the clove taste.
2. adding some other flavoring to cover or compliment the clove.
3. live with it and rename it Clove Chewing Gum Mead.
It doesn't taste too bad as is, just too much clove.
Does anyone have any ideas?
4 Gal Apple Cider
4 Quarts Honey
Lalvin 71B-1122
Cinnamon, clove, all spice in secondary
