Hello! First time mead maker, and first post on this forum!
So, with the help of the the local brewery and brewing club, I made my first batch of mead. Everything went as well as could be expected from a newbie and I even got my mead tasted by a mead judge, who pronounced it as "pretty good".
So, anyway, I have used some kind of shellfish based clarifying agent (chitosan?) and bottled my mead about a week afterwards. It has been more than a week or so since then.
I have since noticed that my bottles all have a milky white sediment in them. It is mostly on the bottle of the bottle, but there is also some on the sides of the bottle. One is even cloudy all throughout. Does anyone know what it is? What do I do to fix it? How do I save my mead?
