ok i've mixed up my mead and as it's my first bash at it i've used asda own brand honey and spring water, used a champagne yeast (it was either that or desert high alcohol wine) now it's been bixed and bubbleing away for a week when today it looks to have stopped bubbleing..... through the opaque-ness of the fermenting tub it looks to have changed colour to the mead golden yellow look, but i dont want to unscrew the lid incase it messes it up... it is only a small batch of about 3 gallons so would that obviously cut down the time it takes to ferment?
i've read that I should transfere it to a demijohn with an airlock to let the stuff settle and clear? just thought i'd ask these torrent of questions to the people who know..
so to summerise
1: should I be worried that my airlock has stopped bubbleing on my 3 gallons of mead?
2: if I should be worried what should I do now tip it and start again? or add anything to it?
3: is it fine for me to leave in there to settle and the syphen out at a given time into bottles for the finished product
many thanks guys and sorry for my first post to be a bombardment of questions
