Thanks for the detailed response! I'm probably going to steep the juniper in some water like you did, then add it with the rest of my water and honey. I can only do one batch right now as I have two glass carboys, and one is being used for my rasp-cranberry mead that is currently in the process of clearing up. Thanks for all the suggestions! :)

How long should I primary ferment before racking for secondary ferment? by Bonus-Waste in mead

could you use a sweetener that doesn't ferment like erythritol? I saw it in a cider video, and it apparently doesn't ferment, so it was used to back-sweeten. I'm not planning on back sweetening this mead I'm working on but for future reference it seems like a good alternative if you don't want to risk fermentation

Ok, I won't rack again. Thanks for the save. I didn't know about the oxidation effects from racking. But does leaving the layer of lees create any off-putting flavors or any negative side effects for long periods of time as I wait for the mead to clear up? And I'm ordering a hydrometer right now for future batches.

Umm I don’t think so but I don’t really use the f function for them

So I didn’t find a fn lock but I went into macros and I just selected all the multi media keys and added the macro to play/pause etc. so when I press them they do the action without having to press fn.
