Hello all. I looked online for something specific to my question. But never could get a nice warm and fuzzy about the information I seeked. If it's out there. I apologize in advance.
I making my first gallon batch of mead. (Months ago) 3 lbs of honey with Lalvin D47 yeast (i used the whole pack. I tried using just half but i realized i didnt hydrate the yeast well first time around. ) i also used sone yeast energizer second day after putting in fermenter. I put just what the bottle said to do. It foamed up a lot. I let sit in primary for 1 month. I then transferred to secondary. Let sit for 2.5 months. I added some potassium sorbate to the mix. (Bottle directions.)
.after 3 days I tried a bottle and it tasted.... weird... I don't know how to describe it. I think it taste like yeast. Wish y'all could taste it. But is the batch ruined? I know it was just 3 days. Will longer time produce a better taste?
Also I am very particular with sanitation. I use star San and clean everything well.
Thanks hope to hear from y'all soon!
