I'm making a lemon ginger mead and just put it in secondary. I decided to do the augmenting in secondary since I'm making two different types (other one is tamarind and lemon grass). I hadn't really thought that the lemon zest would all float to the spout and kind of get all stuck together from the foam and such. It's making it a bit hard for the gasses to get out and I'm afraid that may affect the flavour. So far I've been punching the zest plug down a couple times a day but I'm afraid that this is oxygenating the mead too much. Is there something I should do? The gas manages to get past it but slowly.
