Hello everybody ;D, ive been trying to make mead for quite a long time now, and i dont know what im doing wrong. First i tried to make a metheglin, with these ingredients:•
3 gallons, water
• 5 pounds, honey
• 1/3 cup, jasmine tea
• 1/2 teaspoon, ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons, cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon, ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon, ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon, ground nutmeg
• yeast (Byosal Hs, its an italian wine yeast)
that one had a very strange smell, and apsolutly no alchohol in it after 6 weeks. then i tried all that but without the spices (just the water and yeast), anda after 8 weeks, it had a nice sweet smell, but no alcohol
(sorry if my english is bad)
