Failed Experiment with Simha

As I stated in my last post, I found and tried a recipe for a drink called Simha. I'm not 100% sure I did it right, but the results I got weren't good. In fact, it was downright bad. I let it sit for a few days like the directions said and it barely did anything. It fermented a little and the raisin "submarines" floated up and down, but the drink never tasted good. Even several days afterwords, all I had was a lemon-sugar water. Maybe I did something wrong, or maybe I didn't use the right kind of sugar / yeast, but I won't be returning to this drink.

I've already moved on and set my sights on the next Mead creation: an Apple Pie Cyser Mead.

Several of us are also going to be joining forces to brew a few Stouts here in the near future as soon as I can muster up a little extra cash to help chip in with expenses.
