Hey everyone,
I moved my batch of JAO last night to prepare to bottle it, and it got really cloudy. If I give it a few days, it should clear back up again right??

Yes, it should clear up shortly. Usually a good idea to move your fermenter a day or so before you intend to bottle.

So here's something interesting. After I moved my carboy, the oranges began falling and my JAO started to clear up again. Last night when I went to bed, almost 3/4 of the oranges had fallen to the bottom of the carboy. I wake up this morning and all the oranges are back up top and there is some small activity started back in the carboy! I was really looking forward to a fresh glass of JAO this weekend.

Oh well, good things come to those who wait.

I have noticed this with some of my melomels that contain floating fruit, so often a couple days before I want to rack it, I'll jiggle the carboy a bit to encourage things to settle out earlier so it doesn't get stirred up when I move the carboy.

That is odd. I wonder why it does that. Oh well, all the oranges have now fallen back to the bottom of my carboy, the mead has cleared and I should be able to bottle this weekend!

Now where did I put all my bottles......?
