save a batch of homebrew?
Last year I started a batch of homebrew in november intending for it to be a holiday batch ready for christmas. I followed the recipe in the Papazian Homebrew book for Holiday Brew but I think I went overboard with the honey and ended up making more of a mead. I used a strong belgian ale strain of yeast and the carboy just kept bubbling. Literally for months. I pretty much forgot about the batch since I hadn't brewed since then. I never got around to tossing it. I opened the top the other day and it smelled fine. So what do you homebrew gurus think? Is it possible to revive this batch? Carbonate? Safe to drink as long as it deasn't smell funny or taste nasty?
