Hi everyone,
This is my first time making mead and I have recently just made my first batch of JAOM. I followed the recipe without making any changes, but I have some questions about the future process.
1. When the 2 month period is up do I just siphon it into bottles and drink it or should it be aged for a period of time?
2. If ageing in a second container should it have an airlock or should I just cork it in my second carboy?
3. What is secondary fermentation and why do people do it?
4. Is there anything I should add when ageing to make it tuen out better?
5. What is racking and why is it used and should I do it?
I have a heap more questions but these would help for starters. Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
ThirstyVine
