I'm a newb. Been brewing mead for 9 months or so, just a handful of batches. Discovered LME and have two 1 gallon braggot brews.
One is very sour and I have no idea why.
It's got:
1# Briess Dark LME
1# dark maple syrup
1 gallon strong chamomile tea
Lalvin BM4X4 yeast
chopped raisins
Looks like fermentation is complete. Two days ago it was notably less sour. Today it is tart.
ABV is around 4.5%
Anyone have any ideas why it would be sour? The yeast?
Thanks in advance!
