I bottled my first batch of mead last night. It had been sitting in the secondary for over 4 months and was still pretty hazy. I would have kept it in the secondary longer, but I'm moving soon and I would rather move bottles than a full carboy. To speed up clarification, I threw in a little bit of gelatin finings into the bottling bucket to let them clarify as they bottle condition. Afterwards, I looked online and I've found that gelatin is used in the secondary and only for a few days. Will letting the mead sit on it in the bottle affect the flavor at all? Will it even affect clarity?
