I have bottles of mead I have not finished from my first batch I ever brewed. I did 3 gallons and split it into different flavored gallons. There must have been residual sugars from the additions left in the bottles or - because I did not add anything to stop yeast - they became carbonated. Not that there's anything wrong with a sparking mead, I just would prefer flat mead. Additionally, all the bottles have some yeast and sediment on the bottom of them - my fault for not transferring into a secondary and allowing it to clear more before bottling.
Can I open these bottles and let them sit until the CO2 gasses off? They are all in glass swing-top bottles.
The good news is that they're all tasty!
