Is there a limit to how many Threads you can start?
This is what I want to do!!!
(yes, I stole this quote from another thread. Sorry akueck, I didn't want to hijack the other thread)
I've read so many threads about "Bulk age your mead!" but I need my carboy more often than every six months. I would like to go ahead and Sorbate, Sulphite, Cold Crash it, Backsweeten it and then sparkolloid it (to remove honey haze), all over the course of about two months, and then bottle it to free up my carboys and let it age in the bottle with some high quality corks. (any high quality cork suggestions?)
I'm looking for opinions or experiences. Who's done it, how did it turn out? or, why would you not perform this technique?
Thanks,
Jonas
This is slightly different than what you asked, but I have bottled a batch straight from cold crashing (it was done fermenting, just cooling to help it clear) in order to keep the trapped CO2 that hadn't escaped solution yet. This batch was barely done fermenting when I cooled it. The result was a lightly sparkling mead, and since I racked it there was little sediment.
