first time mead, need some help!
what kind of water did you use? meaning bottled water filtered water or tap water. The chlorine in tap water can make life hell for the yeast to start. Also how much yeast nutrient did you add and did you add any yeast energizer? Any scum or whitish bubbles on the top(a good thing in mead like krausen)?

When dealing with starters for mead I would recommend making your starters with LDME and yeast nutrient and then decant prior to pitching. This will provide a better nutrient environment for your yeast to grow especially if you're making a high alcohol mead.
