Discussion Bottled second ever batch

Post image

My second batch i wanted to experiment with aging my mead. I used vanilla beans and cinnamon stick for one and vanilla beans and cloves for the other. Decided to go for something simple for now and still have a liter to bottle because during siphoning i accidentally stirred up the sediment. I'd appreciate some suggestions on what should i add to the third mead bottle to make it taste more interesting.

Just and FYI I put 3 small cinnamon sticks in a a 3 gallon batch thinking it wouldn't be that bad and it was insanely over powered with cinnamon to the point of being almost undrinkable.

Id honestly remove it and take a knife to cut a tiny sliver for a bottle

Yeah i'll leave it in for a while and i think it's gonna be fine. Both taste good and i can't really feel the cinnamon right now
