Made cleaning solution of b brite last night in my 6.5 gallon glass carboy and forgot about, will this cause any problems?

Nope just set it and forget it for a month. Rack into secondary after 30 days onto pumpkin and put it into a dark place for 6 months then bottle for 6 more. Then it should be ready.

So how many bubbles a minute are you getting? And when did you make it rack it off etc? The pumpkin flavor will naturally disperse into the liquid. So that shouldn't be a problem. Man oct nov is to far away. But it's going to be one wild thanksgiving.

Why are you swirling it? I never have messed with mine, just put them in a dark place and peek on them every now and again. The first few days I keep an eye on things to make sure it's going and to put in a blowoff tube if I have to but that's it.

I think maybe it wasn't done at 3 weeks and adding the pumpkin gave the yeast a food source to restart active fermentation.. I'd just set it and forget it. How is the color? Did you get the heat off the cinnamon? anyway I hope you like the mead when you tasted it.

Did you make any changes to the original recipe?

How long did you leave it in the primary? I leave my meads in primary for at least a month or longer never less then 30 days. No problem in secondary. Did you taste it when you racked it into secondary? How did it smell? My only thought is it just wasn't done, but you racked it off the yeast...
