This may seem vague and excuse my lack of in depth knowledge on this issue.
We bottled 2 gallons of mead that was 6 months old. We put the mead into mason jars and added fresh strawberries to half of them and fresh blackberries to the other half.
We left the fruit in there for a month and tonight went to taste it. What we noticed is that all the jars had some amount of sediment on the bottom which, to me, means it wasn't done. Two of the jars of strawberry taste amazing. The rest of the jars of both berries had bubbles, like carbonation, when we opened them and my wife says they taste like carbonated water.
I'd appreciate any help with this as it's the first time it's happened to me. If the liquid salvageable at all? What may have cause it so I know to avoid it in the future.
Thanks for any insight.
