I came down into the basment today and notice a single cork sitting next to the couch. After careful investigation I discovered that one of the bottles on my near by mead rack was missing it's cork. The mead had spilled all over the carpet. The alleged wife now fears that this will happen to the other bottles (approx 50) that are also stacked on the mead rack. The mead was brewed in fall of last year and has been bottled for several months (a computer crash led the loss of beersmith and all exact dates). Will more bottles continue to pop? Should I uncork to release any possible built up pressure and then recork? Or just ride it out and see what happens?
I did recently move and all bottles may have been shaken during the move. Storage conditions are pretty much the same between houses, kept in basement. I did notice what appears to be some mead seaping out of some of the corks on other bottles. Almost like small drops coming from the middle of the cork itself. This is the first really warm temp in my area. Is it possible the yeast reactivated? I have the ABV% and will post them after work.
Thanks for the help,
your pal
