Honestly I just use the Kirkland clover hony from Costco. 10 lbs for $20 which is the cheapest I've seen around

I am a mass of organic molecules called "RachmaelB
Actually, I would just rack/sulfite right now, and get a little heavy-handed on the sulphite. What's the pH? I would shoot for at least 30ppm sulfite. Also, how were the cherries handled? Did you freeze/thaw them and then sulfite before fermentation? Or did you just process the fruit and toss it in? For your assurance, it's REALLY HARD to infect mead, I've tried :)

I wouldn't rack and sulphite until we know if it's still fermenting or not.
