Actually this is my third attempt at any kind of Home brew...have done cider twice in the past. I have drank quite a bit of Hard Cider, my grandfather would let several gallons go hard every year, but I'm not counting those.....LOL!
This is also my first post...been a lurking for several months.
I made the Habanero Mead recipe listed under the recipe section. Except for adding a cinnamon stick and a teaspoon of Fermax Yeast Nutrient I followed the recipe to a T. I am using a one gallon glass jug with a drilled rubber bung and a three piece airlock filled with Vodka.
I sanitized everything with 1-Step including the Habanero's.
This morning I notice there is a bunch of muck in the Jug, looks very similiar to a "mother" you would see in a vinegar.
Not worried at all, I'm just wondering if this is normal?
There is a bubble every now and then in the airlock, but I understand it may take awhile for the Mead to get started, the muck is what concerns me....Honey ain't cheap....LOL
This is a great forum and I'm looking forward to being a member for many years.
