Cracked the black currant mead today. It's fairly dry, tastes like what I remember merlot/pint noir tasting like, but the black currant funk is definitely there in the aftertaste and I really like it.

Hey #meadmakers I started these meads last Wednesday, going for a wild fermentation with raw honey and the wild yeasts on the elderflowers (added a few raisins as well) and the black currants.
The liquid seems to show evidence of fermentation (there are bubbles at the top of both), but the airlock don't appear to be bubbling. Is that normal for 3 days in, or is the slow start indicative of fermentation not initiating?

The elderflowers in the flower mead floated, and appear to have molded. I'll likely just toss it.
