Hey everyone, I'm a new to the home brewing, so I'd be very glad if you would help me.
I have a few questions. I'm making mead for the first time. My mead is now brewing for 2 months (since 11th august), but I'm not sure if it's time to bottle it. That's because it is still sparkling. I know that it is the consequence of the brewing, but since the sparkle is not that strong as it was at the beginning, in fact it is very weak, can I:
1- Can I bottle it or I have to wait until the mead is completely still and clear?
2- Also, when I shake it, bubbles of CO2 are still coming up from the airlock. What should I do?
3- And what kind of caps should I use (sugar cap, plastic, metal crown stoppers, ...)? You
4- In the end, should I transfer the mead in a new jug in order to leave the dead yeasts in the previous jug?
You can also see from the pic the mead is still turbid, I guess. Thanks for your help!
P.S.: I've used brewer's yeast.
