You realize that one of those years will be a leap year right?4 x 365 = 1460
1460 - 34 = 1426
ONLY 1426 Days left

Just my Not so Humble opinion,l but I think Mine is coming off of the bean sooner than later. Maybe when I hit the 1 month mark....7-7-08?I think I am going to switch to
"It is about as exciting as waiting for mead to age..."
Instead of the standard "Paint dry" or "grass grow" saying...
I had to move all my carboys to the basement...temps where hitting upper 80s outside and I didn't want to chance high temps.
Any thoughts on when to rack off beans, if ever?

its reached its final home for bulk aging.
Uber vanilla nose and flavor.
I'm wishing I had made more than a 1 gallon batch ... oh well I guess I know the recipe for next time around!
You could make more now. We still have over 3.5 years before we break into it. I won't tell anyone if it's a couple months younger than the rest.
Mine=infected
Mine=infected
That My Good Man Looks Like Pasteur Champaign Yeast looking for a clean Carboy to settle in.
RACK THAT MEAD MISTER!
Really...That looks pretty normal for a primary ferment to me...Rack that and see what happens.
Knowing the background to your story...I am a bit confused...but Really...it doesn't look that different from mine at racking #1.
I think You're better off than you think.
I think I will wait until it clears before racking onto the beans. .
I still wouldn't abandon hope. It could (And Will) taste Pretty Damn Funky at this point. DON'T be too let down if it tastes like Yeast Flavored Rocket Fuel.
I still say that is totally NOT infected.
Raspberries will (at least the 1 batch I did) taste kind of Metallic for a while.
That is juts yeast and gunk....This will clear up fine.
