Hello,
I just transferred my AHA Conference '08 recipe Fireball Mead to tertiary and added cinnamon oil. It had a rough fermentation, had to repitch, might have been lacking nutrients. Finally cleared about 2-3 weeks ago. My hydrometer sample tasted pretty rough: very alcholic, fruity esters (???), a little cloying, a bit nasty.
Will this age out? Will the cinnamon cover up nastiness?
Made on January 12, 2009
Transferred to tertiary August 2, 2009
OG: 1.130
FG: 1.044 (target 1.030-1.060)
Thanks in advance!
