Mead Racked
I racked two different sized batches of mead into new containers. This was done to increase the clarity and reduce the settlement that had accumulated at the bottom. The big 5 gallon carboy I started on April 11th and the smaller 1 gallon I started on January 29th. The small on is very clear and ready for bottling. It already smells amazing. Two to four months seems to be the magic window where there is a massive improvement in taste. The mead goes from a "hint of jet fuel taste" to a much more refined sweet calm wine.
