i am, unfortunately, beginning to become impatient and have already tasted my first batch of mead. i enjoy it just the way it tastes, and fermentation has come to a stand still. my question is...
can i use clearing additives to clear up my mead so i can bottle it?
the additive i bought (and was told i should be able to use) is called Super-Kleer.
it says that it is "2-Stage Euro-Finings for wine, beer, superyeast"
it uses the chemicals, "Kieselsol" and "Chitosan" to achieve its purpose. will this be okay for my mead? i am a little worried cause i don't want the whole carboy to go to waste. i also bought all the stuff required to bottle it, and would like to get that done (i only have 24 - 12oz bottles, so it'll just be a test run.) i plan on making some custom labels as well. this is my first foray, ever, into homebrewing and i'm very happy with the results.
Thanks in advance,

P.S.: The Tabard Inn Meadery is just me and a bunch of my friends, we're not some big meadery, we're mostly in it for ourselves.
