Subject: Adding syrup for melomels

Hi All, 
    
  I just recently made a cheery cherry melomel and used a cherry syrup with 
the honey in the primary fermentation stage.  After doing some QAT, 
(quality assurance testing - drinking) I sampled some of the most hideous 
tasting mead I had ever sampled.  The problem I believe is that I added 
to much syrup.  Does any one have any guidelines as to how much syrup 
to add?  I also did a Cyser with some apple nectar and got similar results. 
Comments would be greatly appreciated. 

  Thanks, 

Ed
