Bottled a batch of this last week for a friends party, if you like spicy food it's damn good. Finishing the last of what I didn't take along now and I think it's gotten hotter. This was left on the pepper for 3 months and it was too hot for my sister and parents.

This was my first mead. 3 Months on the habaneros, then transferred to a secondary for 1 month. I am ready to bottle them....

Does anything need to be added before bottling?

I was planning on using 16oz Grolsch bottles, but I have 12oz capping bottles also. Is there a preference?

What temperature should I store them at? Room temp? Refridgerated?
