Bottle bombs

[clay932]

I have some mead that I want to transport it’s still fermenting so I put in the fridge for 2 days siphoned it off the yeast I know two days isn’t enough I’m just hoping it will slow it it to be able to cap the bottle for about 30 minutes without it exploding does anyone know if I risk an exploding bottle or any better ways of transporting it

Use a PET soda/water/juice bottle with screw cap.
Squeeze the air out of it when capping.

You want to cap it for just 30 minutes? There is no risk in that, outside the most active part of fermentation. For reference, when I bottle-conditioned some meads, I left them for a week before pasteurizing. (I've had bottles explode in the hot water bath, but not during the few days of capped self-carbonation in the bottle.)
