I started my Mead Day '06 brew on August 5 (mostly clover, 3 lbs of buckwheat), and it was bubbling along nicely, then as of Tuesday it looked like the airlock activity had basically stopped. So, I racked it to a secondary.
Then, it occurred to me: "Maybe take a hydro reading?" It was at 1060! (I think it started at 1080). Ruh-roh! Now all that yeast is gone...
So the question is- will it continue fermenting with the yeast that remains in suspension? Or do I have to hit it with more yeast?
And- have I done anything that cannot be repaired?
