In my first venture with mead, I made a Cyser based upon the Fall's Bounty recipe in Schramm's book. The recipe was: 4 gal organic apple cider, 9lb Tamerisk Honey, 1lb organic dark brown sugar, 2 tsp yeast energizer, 1 tsp yeast nutrient, and 10g of Lalvin D47. I added 1 tsp of yeast nutrient extra after 3 days of fermentation to keep the yeast healthy. It fermented really well and I just racked it to the secondary with a gravity of 1.010 (didn't measure O.G because I didn't dissolve the honey with the cider -- just left the honey on the bottom and could watch the level continuously drop as it fermented -- guessing it would have been around 1.10). My question is if I should have added anything like a Camden tablet(s) when I racked it. Or, is it okay to just let it ride and continue to ferment/clear? Any advice will be much appreciated.
