Evening! I'm a first time mead maker, and am about half through my first 5 gallon batch. Fermentation started in April, and finished by the beginning of May. It was racked off into a carboy, and has clarified/aged in that same carboy until early evening today. It's racked off into a new carboy now.
Is there too much head space between mead and airlock? Do I have to worry about the mead oxidizing? If so, what can I do to prevent that? Ideally I'd like to let it clarify and age for at least another 4-6 months. I don't want to jeopardize my first batch! I'd appreciate any help!
