1st time making mead. just moved first batch to 3 gal. carboy, then placing the other two gallons in smaller glass bottles with frozen fruit. hydrometer reading i think is 1.006 check picture. 3gal. carboy is no longer pushing air out. does this mean that the fermenting has stopped? five gallon...

after i rack, the substance or lees in the bottom is discarded correct? then the carboy is filled with what is left and the left over spot at the top should be filled with a honey and water syrup to cut down on the air at the top of the carboy.

i have another carboy. will wait to rack until late nov. taking mead class soon
