Doug's first mead Part 4

A couple of updates on the mead.

About two weeks ago, I racked the mead into another fermenter, added another pack of yeast, and the last of the nutrient/energizer combination.

Last night, I racked it again into a fermenter. Didn't add anything. Left a lot of yeast sediment at the bottom, and also left a lot of strawberry seeds in the bucket.

The mead looks fantastic. It's a pale pink with gold overtones.

It tastes funky. Somewhat sour. Definitely more of a champagne or wine taste rather than beer.

I think next time, I will not add another pack of yeast.
