Hi! I'm new to the forum and new to meadmaking. If this info is found elsewhere I appologise for being redundant, but I couldn't find the info. I've been brewing beer for 5 years so I have an understanding about equipment and processes.
My questions are about bottling mead. I want to serve it without carbonation (still is the term I believe?) so I assume I bottle like beer, just skipping the step where I add priming sugar. I'd like to know if oxygen affects mead the way it affects beer. I plan on using a few 1 ltr flip top bottles.
Is it detrimental to the mead if say, I want to drink half one day and the rest a few days later?
Also I want to bottle 1/2 gal into a growler and seal with a .38 mL screw on lid. Will it keep if its drank in incriments? Or does it need to be drank in one sitting?
Thank you!
