Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
What I have is one gallon of Northern Light mead that is twenty two days old. The only ingredients other than honey are the zest of one lemon and one tablespoon of tea.
The yeast is Red Star Champagne plus a teaspoon of nutrient. The fermentation started strong, within a few hours. It is now down to one bubble every thirty seconds. The liquid is cloudy, but getting less cloudy than earlier. The gas coming off has very little smell, but smells good. There is about 1/4" of sediment in the bottom.
Should I rack it off to a clean jug?
