I started a mead a couple of weeks ago (loosely-covered bucket for open primary fermentation). I moved it into a 1-gallon jug about a week ago. There is now no bubbling and it is clearing, i.e., the yeast is dropping into a layer at the bottom. The FG was at 1.002, corrected for temperature, when I put it in the secondary.
I am trying this mead with the no pasteurization/no sulfite at primary fermentation method. Instead, I got a yeast starter going first to get the must fermenting quickly.
When I rack the mead off the lees, do I need to sulfite, or can I keep this as a no-sulfite mead?
Thanks,
Dave
