So I am very new to mead making. I've done it successfully a few times but by no means know more than the absolute basics. I just started two one gallon carboys of mead--one simply a traditional one, one a cherry mead. I realized today after fermentation has been bubbling along for about three days that I hadn't mixed them well enough and an inch or so of honey has settled to the bottom. So I took the airlock off and tried to stir them today....which resulted in a volcano. Fortunately, I didn't lose more than about a half a cup, but there is still an inch of honey on the bottom. What do I do, other than make sure I mix thoroughly next time? I was thinking that maybe I could wait until primary fermentation ended and then pour all of it out into a bowl, mix like mad, pour it back into a carboy, let the sediment sink to the bottom for a week or so, and then re-rack it....obviously with the honey re-mixed, that could kickstart another fermentation, so I'd keep an airlock on it....
