Last June 6th I made a strawberry/banana melomel. Here is some info below that I copied from my notes....
18 lb strawberries
4 lbs bananas
18lbs raw wildflower noney
Lalvin 71B
8-10-2010---Racked to another carboy. Gravity was 1.010. It tasted very good. A bit "hot". Clarity was good.
12-10-2010...Racked for the final time to a 3-gallon Better Bottle, 1/2 gallon jug, and 1-22 ounce bomber. It tasted very good.
So here it is almost a year later and the mead is still releasing small bubbles that I can easily see in the better bottle and the other bottles. Is this normal? Also, I am in no hurry to bottle it, but would like to know how long the bubbling COULD last. And should I wait for the bubbling to stop before I bottle?
