Hey all, I started my first batch of mead on 3/2/13, just 15lbs local wildflower honey in 5 gallons of water, d-47 and staggered nutrient addition. It's started to clear (I think) and I transferred it to secondary this past weekend on 4/21, and I'm wondering: do I need to add a clarifying agent or will it clear completely on it's own? Also when I transferred it to secondary I took a small sample for tasting and noticed that it had what I would describe as a harsh bite to it...I assume I'm being impatient and tasting it at this point is a poor indicator of how it'll taste after aging, but I just wondering if this is commonplace. I'm paranoid, can't help it. Thanks for any input guys!
