Will do. Thanks!

I'm home for the week for Thanksgiving, and my mead from 7 months ago is ready. Unfortunately, it was being stored upside down for some reason. When I righted it, the sediment got stirred up and now it's cloudy. How long will it take for the bottle to settle and clear up again? What can I do to...

So everyone likes it. It's just a little sweet. Thanks all, and happy holidays!
