Headspace in primary

Hello,

Many thanks for the assist.

I recently did my first batch of a sweet mead. I put 5 gallons into a 6.5 gallon fermenter, not knowing if there would be a krausen issue. It seems to be stuck at 1.049. A mead making friend of mine advised to just let it sit and it should, with in time drop.

Question:
Since it is sitting in the primary for a good while- 1.5 months now, should I transfer it to a 5 gal carboy, making sure I get as much yeast in as possible to prevent oxgenation issues?

All the Best!

I would, to reduce the headspace. Besides, the racking might even wake the yeast and prompt renewed fermentation.

Great, I will do that tonight. Thanks!
