If anyone could help me with this issue I would be very thankful.
I made a batch of mead and when I transferred from the primary to the secondary I had some left over in the primary vessel. Being quite frugal I decided to save whatever I could and transferred the last little bit into smaller bottles. One of the bottle has an airlock on it and the other does not (still covered). The bottle without the airlock has clarified very quickly and the bottle with the airlock is still murky. How does oxygen effect the Mead? Also, if the answer is not much then should I allow all the mead to "breathe" before I bottle?
