So me and a friend had our first try at mead making the other day.
Sadly it was a total failure.
We filled a carboy with water, honey, blackberry, and raspberry juices.
We added the wine yeast and yeast nutrient we had.
We sealed the carboy, and this morning it had exploded all over the ceiling of the basement.
The airlock just popped right off and the garbage inside got all over everything.
Why might this have happened? If anyone can indicate something I might have done wrong, and help me do better on the next batch I would really appreciate it.
