Hello guys!
I have just racked my mead tonight and, before placing the airlock back on, I have decided to taste some of the liquid.
I was not expecting it to taste very good, since I've read that mead at first may taste like gasoline or something like that. What I found out, instead, is that it is very good! Strong in alcohol but sweet at the same time. :
My only concern is that now, in the secondary carboy (identical as size and shape to the first one), fermentation seems to have come to a stop. I hope it is still going a little so that CO2 will soon replace the airspace.
By the way, what is the danger of oxidation?
It is so good right now that I really hope it will not get worse because of air in the carboy...
