I have a batch of Vanilla mead that I started 4-1-2006, with an O.G. of 1.102, that is now at 1.010, with White Labs Sweet Mead Yeast. It has been at this gravity for at least a month now. It is crystal clear and tastes exactly as I want it to. I want to bottle it, but I have never had a batch end this high. Most usually go to 1.002 - 1.000. Aprox. temp for the whole ferment has been around 63F (+/-5).
I have never had a problem bottling without adding anything, but I was thinking of adding some potassium sorbate, just in case the yeast decide to start up again. My question is, will this cause any clouding? Like I said, I have never added any "chemicals" post fermentation, so this is something new to me.
Thanks,
