From what I have read so far it is beneficial to transfer a number of times for clarity.
I did my first mead in April using a fermenter. I transferred to a keg about three weeks ago. I just did a pressure transfer into another keg.
I was surprised when it looked fairly clear and no sediment transfering. I also took a tiny sample to taste. It was not sweet. That was what I wanted. I expected it to be a bit hot because it is so fresh. It was not.
Is this normal for a mead? I thought it would have to age for nine to twelve months.
Thanks
