And....nothing

as above.

suphites are for killing bacteria and help inhibit yeasts.
while meads do clear on there own, some are better if yeasts are removed reasonably quickly and i've had drop out problems after backsweetning. i hate having a clear mead drop out a smear on the side of the bottle 3 months after you bottled it.

Gravity is at 1.021, which should put the current ABV at 12.1% It has been in primary for one month now. About how much more time should it be in primary, and should I give it another dose of nutrients?

Racked to secondary today. Gravity is at 1.011, which puts ABV at 13.48%. Tasted a sample, and it was great, with very nice citrus notes. Now for the hard part; leaving it alone for about six months. Thank you to everyone who helped me out on my first mead.
