Bizarre!

This is nearly as bizarre. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=6950485&postcount=16

A bit of a recurring infection theme.

OP; if you do come back, you would be well served to invest in some Starsan and avoid the vodka and k-meta sanitizer. Cheaper and more effective.

Best of luck with your brewing.

1) That was not underr my control as my partnerr had the heat in the house cranked up after asking him not to.

2) The honey will not cause the flavors I described, I have been making mead for 3 years now & honey does not ferment to bitter & alcoholic.

I came here to find usefull, constructive criticism, pointers & advice, not to be ridiculed & belittled by others. It's people like you that make fun of & demean other peoples efforts that make me want to quit posting, I've had a lot more than this batch that turned out great that I will now never post about. I despise being made fun of just so that you can feel better about yourself, have fun & F OFF.

Sorry you were offended by my post, I didn't mean to piss you off, sorry. I know the fermentation control is what it is, I'm just trying to explain why it tasted funky. High temperatures during fermentation just flat out taste bad, weird esters. As far as alcoholic flavors in your mead, you probably age your mead 6+ months right? Those alcoholic flavors tend to fade and improve with time, which is one reason I assume people age mead and to some extent ciders or even funky beers.

Plenty more fish in the sea.
