hi everyone, put down a batch of mead 3rd of december,
Batch M80312
1 x 3 bee's clover blend 500gm
1 x Aoraki clover blend 500gm
1 x airbourne manuka blend 500gm
1 x 4lt bottle spring water
1 pack Sparkling yeast
2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 campden tablet
thats the recipe, not quite sure what i doing, i racked it 3 weeks later, now there is a white powdery looking substance on the inside of the glass, mainly noticable above the main part of the carboy, it is still bubbling slowly (2 bubbles a minute) I tasted it a few times in the last few weeks, first time it tasted 'similar' to what i expect mead to taste like, but second time around it was quite sour, and there is now a little bit of a film on the top where it sits in the neck, and ideas? i do not have gravity readings, just kinda chucked everything in.
I'm gonna try the ancient mead recipe if this stuff cant be fixed,
