I made a mead (5 gallons) with:

10 pounds honey
1 gallon cider
and a few spices...

my question is...

I used preserved apple cider...not knowing I shouldn`t til I came across the knowledge thereafter...

What is up with that batch...Is it ruined?

It has been fermeted for 6 weeks, and I took a sip...it tasted fine (needs age), but it didn`t taste any worse than the other meads I have made after the first month...

Thoughts? Am I going to die from drinking this 11 months from now? will it taste like vinegar? or is it just to be weaker now?

Thanks for the help...and I am glad I found this forum...

Welcome to Got Mead?

Please be sure to use the forum search tool going forward. You'll find that just about any question you may have will probably have been asked already. And if not, there is most likely some relevant information that will help you to frame your meadmaking questions going forward.

Cheers and good luck, Oskaar
