I just bottled (in mason jars) my first batch of mead after about four months of it being in the gallon jug with the airlock. The airlock had stopped bubbling (to my knowledge) so I thought everything was done and ready to be thrown in a bottle. I just went and checked on the mead, and it had bloated the tops of the mason jars. When I released the screw cap, air hissed out. Is it still fermenting? I don't know what the exact alcohol content is, but it should be about fifteen, according to the guy that sold me the yeast.
What should I do?
Should I put it back in the gallon jug with the airlock?
Is there risk of contamination from other yeasts still, even with the alcohol content high?
Thanks a bunch for helping me. I'm a nube.
