and tastes pretty bad, too.
To start, its a pumpkin cyser and the yeast i used was lalvin d-47.
this is JUST out of the primary and when i racked to the secondary i hand enough extra for one 500ml bottle and put that in the fridge. This stuff tastes kinda rotten. It also smells pretty bad and the gas that the fermenter gave off was pretty bad, as well.
One day i came home and the airlock was raging and i felt the side of the bucket and it was hot. i let the room get too hot, accidently. i know this is bad. i immediately let the bucket cool down and kept the temperature in check. it stayed in the upper 60's after that.
this is my third mead. my first two were delicious out of the primary, this one is not. am i spoiled because the first two were good and i just need a little patience? or is this thing ruined and i should dump it?
