Hi Everyone, this is my first batch of mead. 14lbs of orangeblossom honey topped to around 4.5 gallons to get to 1.115 SG. Going on day 3 and there is a pronounced citus smell coming from the air lock. Not at all what I expected. I guess I was looking for more of a honey or yeast smell. Anyone else experience this before? My head tells me that with the nectar being mainly from orange blossoms that this would be where the citrus smell is coming from, but the honey has no noticable citrus smell. Just an observation,... really glad I found this group and looking forward to learning from you all.
