Need Advise - First Time Bottling Mead
«
on:

I brewed 2.75 gallons of mead using 5 pounds of orange blossom honey and 2 pounds of wildflower honey. The mead is dried out enough for my liking (OG 1.078, FG 1.014) and has been sitting in my beer fridge clearing for about 3 weeks.
I am planning to bottle the mead in wine bottles with corks.
Two questions:
1. Should I still use clarifying agents? I haven't yet but have a dose of super kleer.
2. If I use the super kleer, do I still have to use potassium metabisulfite to kill the yeast so I don't get bottle bombs?
Thanks!

I used super-kleer with mine, no potassium bisulfate, and it has been fine. In 2 days, the mead was VERY clear, and bottled. No bombs yet, and it's been 5 months now.
