A week ago, I moved my mead from the four-gallon fermenter to four one-gallon plastic bottles. This proved harder than expected and the siphon was not the easiest of tools to use, which may be how I ended up with my current predicament...
I have four bottles clearing at different rates. One is clearing nicely and I'm pretty sure that you can see the difference. Two are not quite so clear, but they're not awful.
The last one, however, is still as cloudy as ever. It also has some kind of silt in the bottom; could this be part of the issue? I am half-tempted (once I bottle the gallon which is getting clearer, so maybe next month) to see if I can run it through a coffee-filter and remove the sediment.
I'm assuming I accidentally got some of the lees into the last bottle when I was trying to get the siphon down to the bottom of the fermenter, but would that stop it from clarifying?
