Hey guys!, so a little bit about the mead I'm making, it was a 1 gallon to 3lbs orange blossom honey with a EC-1118 yeast strain, nothing else. going into primary it was reading about 1.110 OG on August 16th 2019. on Sept 13 2019 I put it into Secondary and topped it off with spring water because I thought there was too much head space for oxygen. At that point it read 1.002 FG. During Secondary it kick started up again a little fermentation I think(not sure though), there were bubbles also the pressure in the airlock is high. Also there is some residue at the top of the secondary and also on the bottom(cake batter like stuff, same as the stuff left over in primary). It is Oct 9 2019 now and I'm wondering...
the question is,
Is this a bad thing for my secondary? and how long should I wait before I open it up to check on the fg?
Also I'm planning on putting oak into it, when should I add that into the mead?
P.S this is my very first Mead and it has been around the 70F-77F degree range for the whole time and these pictures I will show you all are the mead in Secondary fermentation, thank you guys!
