<DIV>Yeast, when fermenting, simply makes the mead cloudy (plus producing
CO2).</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>If you see ropey, mucus like stuff this may very well be a bacterial
infection.</DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
