Hello.
My first batch of mead looked lovely and clear so I racked it into a new demi john.
With hindsight I probably should have left it longer as a bubble was still appearing every 1 min 30ish.. anyway...
It's been sitting in this demi john for a while now and I'm not sure if I should rack it into wine bottles or top it up??
I've got a new batch of mead on the go so can iron out my first mistakes..
Has anyone got any tips I.e. should I leave to condition or rack into bottles? Or top up?
Also is it ok to rack into a previously used wine bottle and also use the screw cap that came with it? Washed and sanitised obviously? Or are corks preferred?
