I made a very simple mead batch of 5 liters with some leftover mead yeast, 1.5 kg of honey (a bit much? I've been resuspending what ended up in the bottom even after a good 15 minute boil), and spiced with hops.
It's coming to the end of its primary fermentation, and I'm wondering how long a simple mead needs to age before it's good to drink? I've read 6 months in some places.
Also, judgment call: Still or sparkling? I'm leaning towards sparkling, but I'm one of those weird people who prefer sparkling wine to ordinary.
