My family has a little wine cellar and I've been thinking about racking from the primary fermenter(plastic bucket) into a glass carboy(as secondary) and keeping this carboy in the cellar while the mead is clearing and aging.
This cellar has a stable temp. around 12-14C(53.5-57F).

It seems univocal, that it's the perfect place for this purpose, I just wanted to be sure...

I'll make a few picture when going there next time.
 
Thx for the input guys!

Medsen: should I de-gas after racked into secondary or degas it in the primary before racking? Can I use my drill powered wine degasser or that would be too intense and introduce too much oxygen?
