[Namron] rookie question

[Barat]

This may be bad news.

Yeast, when fermenting, simply makes the mead cloudy (plus producing  
CO2).

If you see ropey, mucus like stuff this may very well be a bacterial  
infection.

Leave it alone for several days and then pull the the cork/airlock  
and smell it. If it as a slightly acidic yeasty smell all is well. If  
it has a foul smell then it most likely has a bacterial infection.
