Hi
My first mead is almost done fermenting. It's at 1.001 and i think it should be done in a about a week. I've calculated the gravity to be around 16 pecent abv. And I've let it run dry.
Basically i was wondering if there is anything I could do to "cool" the hotness down a peg. I used oranges and apparently too many as it tastes very acidic. It has very little smell other than oranges. It's just very acidic and hot right now.
Also I would like to know what would happen if i bottled it as soon as it's done fermenting. Would the flavor be affected if not allowed to clear?
thanks
oh and also there is a thin little bit of white stuff on the neck of the top of bottle and on the raisins. I wonder if it's mold or something. Is it normal?
