Not frothing.. but bubbling

Stasis, right now I’m just letting it work it’s way out. I won’t re-chem it. I don’t want Weird flavors. I checked SG again today at 72 F it was 1.004 so it’s still going

. I’ll let them do their thing and then rack off of them once stable.

Edit:
Tasted it too, it was yummy!

So it’s dead...I was vacuuming the CO2 out

The when I stepped away with the vacuum pump off but a vacuum applied, this happened...

Yes that’s oil

I already started a new batch with what I have learned throughout this process...

You should try to rack under this. Is the oil food safe/grade? I'm not sure why you would need to do this method anyway?

It’s not. I ditched it.

Why were you pumping out the CO2? The CO2 is good because it prevents oxidation (especially in melomels), I would have left it alone. If you're trying to de-gas there are other ways to do it.

I was degassing and i don’t want to do it by hand any more.. or at least as much.
