I'm on my third and fourth batch of mead... and had a bottle bomb on batch two... so i'm a bit skittish even though I'm fairly certain the fermentation is complete (it's been like 6 months - I left home for a while and came back).
I'm curious if there is any way for the mead to age well without bottling. What is it that the bottling really does? Is it just keeping the air out? And if so, why doesn't mead age well in an airlocked carboy?
Any suggestions? I can drink it un-aged... but I'm not a huge fan.
