Subject: Adding syrup for melomels

Hi All,

 

I just recently made a cheery cherry melomel and used a cherry syrup with

the honey in the primary fermentation stage. After doing some QAT,
(quality assurance testing – drinking) I sampled some of the most hideous
tasting mead I had ever sampled. The problem I believe is that I added
to much syrup. Does any one have any guidelines as to how much syrup
to add? I also did a Cyser with some apple nectar and got similar results.
Comments would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Ed
