Continued adventures in brewing.
Roommate and I tried the mead on Sunday, after a bare week of fermenting. It definitely had a kick (a hell of a kick!), but was still pretty sweet. Since it was already drinkable, we made the decision to go ahead and move to the secondary.
Unfortunately, the ex took the glass carboy. So I set up a crappy filtration system (coffee filters in a colander) to try to get some of the yeast out and we drained into another 5 gallon bucket. There's still some fermentation going on, but less than before. I'll pick up another airlock, clarifier, and yeast killer this weekend when I'm by a brew store.
Off hand, this looks like it's going to turn out better than anything I've tried to brew in the past. I'm glad I'm keeping notes.
