I made an orange blossom mead on March 28th, 2010. It has been in the secondary for 2 months now and has cleared nicely.
I went to check on it today and the airlock was off. Now, I check it often to make sure the airlock isn't drying out. The last time that I checked it was maybe 2 days ago...3 at the most and the airlock was on it. I have no idea how it came out but it did.
I want to know how concerned should I be that it was exposed to oxygen for 2-3 days? I did notice a tiny bit off "stuff" floating on top. I used my sanitized eye dropper and got it off the mead. I am planning on transfering it to another carboy tomorrow.
The starting gravity was 1.136 and FG was 1.006-17%ABV.
Any thoughts?
