I would bottle if it tastes good and is clear.

After a party last night a keg of 3 month year old mead got kicked. It was still a little young even with the SNA but that could be in part from it being 14%, it went over well though after dumping a couple pints of what settled.

I think next party I need a session IPA or something on tho so people aren't drinking 14 percenters by the pint.
