Quick Mead!
So I should expect my Gross bottles to expose at any moment? Should I rack back into another container for another few months? There was no airlock activity when I bottles, and it was nice and clear. All the sediment had dropped out, and I thought it was done. Risk the bottle bombs, or let it continue to ferment?
It's quick mead, which says to bottle in 2 months. I let it run for 4 and thought it would be safe. I know meads can take years to ferment out, but it's listed as quick mead for the novice (read: me). So re-rack and let ferment some more or just drink it up before they explode? It's very drinkable now, although it has more of a dessert wine flavor than anything else. Sweet, and not to be consumed in mass quantities.
Thanks

I just bottled a 1gal batch I started back in February. I used the Joe's ancient Orange and changed the recipe a little. 2 months in primary, 2 in secondary, then I bottled it for aging for another month or so before I crack open the first bottle. I took the SG at bottling and it was 1.082. Tasted good and strong too. This is my first batch, so not sure if this high OG is normal or not. Already considering a 3-5gal batch to start in the next month or so.
Thanks

It makes me think Viking, but I don't know how to imitate Viking speak. I'm going to brew mead soon. I'm pretty sure that next year when I get to sample my mead, I might like it a lot and be pissed at myself for not having the foreside to make sure that another batch was available for when this one ran out
Thanks
