what is this?

I made mead before but i never seen this before. it is a peach mead and i racked it a couple of days ago and now it has bubbles on top like it was soapy water. i think i racked it to early, but i let it fermet for 14 day and the gravity didnt fall any more. SG was 1.100 Fg is 1.001. any thoughts?

Those bubbles happen, it's no big deal. I think you racked at a great time. 14 days on some peaches is plenty.

Now it looks like you have a few more gravity point to go. I would let it clear in the secondary and then take the hydrometer reading and if it is done go ahead and bottle it.

kewl beans just thought i would ask to be on the safe side

It's releasing carbon dioxide. Will continue to do so if you dont degass it.

No, it will stop eventually. Give it a few months to clear. As far as degassing goes, you wouldn't ever want to do that while fermentation is still going on.

I just let mine clear in the secondary for about 10 months and it degasses naturally.
