rhb-
(sorry, late reply)
I haven't checked on it but it's not too long until it should hopefully be ready for bottling so I was just going to leave it and hope for the best.
Of course I'll have to sample some when I'm bottling anyway so should get an idea if it's drinkable going into the bottles, so if it's ok it should only improve with age.

Some of you may remember me asking about my mead which was still bubbly a long time after fermentation should have stopped... Well over the weekend I tidied up my cupboard a bit and noticed I had things growing in a couple of airlocks so removed them to rinse out and replace the water only to see a hole on the wrong side of the (brand new at time of use) airlock in the one that came from the mead. So that explains why fermentation was still happening as oxygen will have been getting in.
I have replaced the airlock and hoping for the best but I may just end up with 4.5l of honey vinegar :(
