I just have a quick question on this batch of mead clearing. I used a ton of honey in this batch (20lbs). It was added to 4 gallons of distilled water to equal just under 6 gallons. I started this batch on 9-27-09 and have only racked once. It has a good amount of lees on the bottom and a little bit in the grooves of the carboy around the middle area. I hesitate to rack again because it is still not getting clear at all. I don't want to rack and rack and rack some more because I don't want to lose any more of the batch and I don't want to oxygenate it. It has been just over a month since it started.
What time frame would you all expect for this batch to drop clear using that much honey and using the no heat method? Temp has been controlled around 70*- 73* the whole time. Thanks for any replies.
