So the other night I had the plessure to open my very first batch of mead (last time I had some was Easter). The good news is it is wonderful, better as it ages, which we all know. However there is one difference between how it was then, back in Easter, and that is, it's now a sparkling mead. Now, there is sediment at the bottom, so I hope it's done, and I'm not going to end up with a granade, but just in case, I threw it into the fridge today. Is this the right way to handle it? How long should I store it in the fridge? What did I do wrong, well obviously I bottled too early, but I swear there was no airlock activity for months before I bottled it. I know when I bottled it (being the first time bottling anything) airated it quite a bit, is this what caused the yeast to return from vacation? Any advice on how to prevent such a hazardous event from happening again?
