First off I would like to say I started this batch at the early end of my homebrewing/mead making career when I wasn't yet wise enough to keep detailed records
I primarily brew beer, and have only made 2 batches of mead (this being the second). It is a 5 gallon batch and 15 pounds of local wildflower honey was used, along with nutrients, acid blend, and gypsum. The yeast strain was Lavlin EC-1118.
The original gravity was never taken. After a month the mead was transferred to secondary, then racked once again 2 months later, and again 2 months after that. At the last racking the gravity was taken and found to be around .995. I tasted the mead and it was very enjoyable. However the mead has remained cloudy even now months after that gravity reading. Is there something I may have done wrong or is it normal for some meads to not have cleared by now?
