Hi
I started a cyser a while back, it was .5 gallon of (cheap) apple juice, 1 crushed cinnamon stick, about 2.5 lbs of honey, and D47, water to a gallon.
It got overly hot for about a day and was throwing some outrageous fumes. Ever since then it has been a little funky. Now it is cleared, and is much better, but still has a rubber/bitter smell and taste to it, with a taste like cinnamon gone bad. I can taste the apple and cinnamon, though. It isn't really drinkable.
It is only a gallon, so I'm not to crushed if I have to dump it, but what is the likely hood that it will improve with age to the point of being drinkable if I bottle it?
Thanks!! Rick
