I let airlock run out of water and i've never even racked my mead.
Basically i had to move after starting a batch and i never got a chance to check on it till a year later. I gave it a taste and suprisingly its good.
The starting gravity was aimed to finish at 18%abv and i used that ec 1118 I think its called. It's been a while.
It now has a gravity of 1.004 I was wondering if there is anything i should do to it. Like something i could do to freshen it up. Should i bother bottling it or will the oxidation just make it bad before long. I've got 4 gallons of it so i was really hoping to bottle some up to see how it tastes in a few years. I'm wondering if its better just drinking it right away.
Seeing how its still got a good flavor I cant imagine it's been getting oxygen very long. It may still have positive pressure and keeping air going through the airlock. It's not bubbling at all though. I really dont know. This was my 1st batch of mead and it's a modified jaom.
Thanks
