Left this on primary too long, started on 31st October and only racked it today on the 17th November.
More seasoned mazers might disagree with me, but I don't think 17 days is too long in primary.

If it had been in an airtight container with no headspace I wouldn't have been worried (after five or so days) but for most of that time it was in an open air plastic bucket covered by tea-towels haha.More seasoned mazers might disagree with me, but I don't think 17 days is too long in primary.
It's obviously not finished but this is what I woke up too this morning.
3 words... Blow. Off. Tube.
I use one with every primary for just this reason!
(At least it looks like the mess was contained!)

Personally. I think the red ribbon fits better with the lable you have designed. I like the stamp but would probably go with either a red or black wax over a slightly longer red ribbon. Thats just my opinion though.
Here is what I got going on now;
From left to right - BOMM - Tropical Honey (12lbs), 4 lbs Orange Honey, 1 lb Buckwheat @ 9 days (secondary)
BOMM - Orange Honey (15lbs) @ 9 days (secondary)
Saison Mead - Orange Honey (15lbs) @ 39 days (secondary)
Saison Mead - Texas Wildflower (15lbs) @ 72 days (secondary) will be bottled in 2 days...
Ribbon. It makes the bottle pop more than the wax seal.
Preparation for Christmas baskets, 5 different meads all bottled.
Very pretty, bro. Is your cyser carbonated or still?
