So the wife got me a brewsy kit on my birthday. My first batch was a mead with apple juice, honey, and I put some caramel hard candies in it. So the kit said let it sit for 7 days, then cold crash for 3 days. I transfer it to bottles and cold crashed again for a day and transfer again to smaller bottles. Finish product didnt turn out the way I was thinking. Couldnt taste the apple very well and the caramel didnt come out at all. What couldve been done to make this better? I have a friend that wanted me to try the next batch with Monster energy orange cream flavor because he saw it be done with bang energy drinks, so thats my next batch since he paid for the drinks and yeast pack. But I want to try a mead again for 3rd batch and would love some pointers.
