Hey everyone,
My first batch of mead seemed to take a very long time to ferment.
5lbs honey
1gal distiled water.
chapagne yeast
After the first month I racked to secondary, and let ferment for another month, then i use potassium sorbate to kill the yeast at a gravity of 1.012, then i racked to a tird vessle for 6 months.
When I tasted it, the Mead was like honey flavored rubbing alcohol.
I bottled it and Im going to wait 3 more months before trying it again.
any advice?
