/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I'm an amateur brewer, and I caught an interest in mead during the big Game of Thrones hype up.
I used a recipe I found off chance online (Syr Michael of York if anyone wants to look for it)

I used Redstars champagne yeast and 2.5 lbs of honey and the other stuff in the ingredient list plus some yeast nutrient. I let it ferment and racked it after a month and tried it then.
End result was a really dry, almost malty flavor that wasnt entirely pleasant. Looks nice though, I feel like I fucked it up.
