Hello everybody!
So it has been almost three months since I started my mead. I transferred to secondary after 1 month and it has already cleared up quite a bit. I'm really quite pleased about that.
Last month I noticed some particulate matter floating but not really moving in the mead. It's just sort of suspended throughout the top 1/3 of the carboy. I'm not sure what it is so I'd appreciate it if anyone can help me analyze what's going on with my mead. There is also quite a bit of cloudy swirly stuff whenever I rock the carboy around. The swirly stuff seems to be coming from the whitish buildup that has formed about an inch below the top of the mead. It sorta reminds me of what sugar looks like after it has been dissolved in cool aid and is left to sit for awhile. You'll see what I mean in this video:

Thanks again for any help. I'm really hoping I don't have any problems on my hands here. If it is harmless "junk" if anybody has any ideas for separating it from the mead before bottling I would greatly appreciate and advice on that as well.
::fingers crossed::
