First of hello, I havent been here in a while due to busy with work, and I keep forgetting my dang password. Ive gotten a lot of great advice here in t the past, so hopefully someone can answer this question. I recently decided to try my luck with a Mead. I looked at a ton of recipes, I had no idea how many ways there were to make mead. I used a pretty simple recipe for 5 gallons, I believe I used approx. 19lbs of decent local honey maybe even close to 20. I used a yeast starter, consisting of corn sugar and yeast, let it go about 2 days then added to my honey and water to make 5 gallon. I did however heat my honey slightly for about 20 min(not boiling), recipe said to do this, hopefully not huge mistake. Every thing seemed to work wonderfully very active fementation I believe my O.g. was around 1.120. I racked to secondary when S.G was around 1.030, and just racked again to get it off the sediment, S.G was .990. So heres my main question, it has a funky smell, like a musty smell, I gave it a little taste, and of course it wasnt very good due to its so young, but im just wondering will this go away, is it normal, and how can I either get rid of the smell, or mask it. Any advice would be awesome, Oh and I didnt use any campden, or Kmeta, I was told not to.
