I've got a show mead that I made in September that is still pretty cloudy. This was my first mead. I used 71B so I was expecting it to be pretty clear by now. Here are some details:
15 lbs. Madhava honey (roughly equal portions Alpine wildflower, orange blossom and alfalfa)
Water for 5 gallons
10g Lalvin 71B (rehydrated in Go-Ferm)
OG: 1.107
The honey was not heated except to thin it a little bit. I used HighTest's staggered nutrient addition schedule. Fermentation seemed normal to me. I racked it into secondary once it hit terminal gravity (1.008). It has been racked once more since then. No additives have been added. It's been in my basement the entire time at a pretty steady 65°F or so.
What do you guys think I should do?
1) not worry about it?
2) hit it with some Sparkalloid?
3) throw it into the lagering fridge?
4) 2 & 3?
5) something else?
TIA!
