Regarding your question about storing the bottles up or sideways, store them upwards for at least a few days. If your corks decide to pop themselves out, you won't have spilled mead all over the floor. After a few days, you can then bring them onto their sides to prevent the cork from drying out.

thanks for the reply. i'll let em hang out for a while upstairs and then put them in the wine rack in the basement for 5 years or so.

thanks everyone for all the tips, i know my next mead will turn out much better.
