A small sample of my new Pilsner. It’s only been kegged for 3 days, but I’m impatient and kinda excited about this one.

How'd you get that to clear? It's a beauty!

Thanks! Unlike with beer, I rack to secondary with every mead. I don’t rack before it’s at a minimum of 80% clear. I rack to get off the yeast and to add stabilizers.

One of the absolute game changers is to put 6 grams/gallon of Bentonite clay in the must before yeast pitch.

Thanks for that. Don't recall ever hearing about putting clay in mead. 😉
