I want to cry
So my parents were out over the holidays in December.
Decided to make up a batch of Raspberry mead that I have been putting off making for a while. I couldn't find my bungs and air locks (moved in October) so I took one off of my 5+ gallons of Cherry that I started back 11/14. It was a GREAT cherry mead... tasted like a spiked cherry pie tbh.
So when I took the bung/airlock I covered the top of the carboy w/ 3 layers of freezer bag and kept it tight with a hair band till I could get to the brew store and get another bug.
Well in the meantime it seems a hole got punched in the plastic :smack:
IDK if it was my M-i-L or my boy or .... aliens but the result is the same... 5 gallons of mead have oxidized and now taste soooo bad. I know the answer but I can't help but ask before I dump it down the toilet ... there isn't any way to salvage this is there? *SIGH*
I got 3 bottles of mead out of the carboy over the past year and 2 of those went to family. I honestly want to cry.
