So I've brewed a few batches of beer so far, and on my first mead now. It was in primary for 3 weeks, and a few days ago I racked it into a secondary. Yesterday when I checked it I've got a whole new yeast cake on the bottom, and the thing is fermenting away. Is that common with meads? Rouse the yeasties and they get at it again?
I checked my SG and did the calculations, came up with 8% ABV which seemed low. And when I racked it, I tasted it. Seemed really sweet still, so I'm rather pleased to see it fermenting more.
I'm thinking to give it another 2 weeks, and I'll rack it to another carboy to age for 3 months or so.
Thoughts?
