I just started a new batch on wednesday night.
Recipe
Ingredients: (for 2 gallon)
5 lbs Clover Honey
3 lb frozen strawberries
acid blend (dosage as per the package's instructions)
grape tannin
2 Campden tablet
pectic enzyme
Montrachet yeast
(Recipe called for leaving strawberries in there till wednesday but from what I can see, if the flavor hasn't been sucked from the strawberries by now, its not going to happen. Plus today was garbage day)
Never have I smelled such a strange smell. I can't place it at all. If it tastes like it smells, this stuff will be sitting for a long long long long time. Now my question is could this be caused by the yeast or a bacteria colony thats inside the yeast? I cleaned everything thouroughly. I guess my next batch will be in the 1gallon jugs instead of the bucket.
