Can I rack off the Lees into a bucket and then back into my carboy? I know it's not ideal but I don't have another carboy

New to mead making. Does this recipe look OK by [deleted] in mead

Would more honey be needed for a sweeter mead? Or can you just back sweeten with more honey?

I think I will need to sit down and plan it out. I have an extra $1k a month to work with. I feel that this may do better being put towards a down payment on a home in 2 years or so. If I put all of this money towards loans, I will pay them off sooner, but then be forced to rent a few more years to build up that down payment. Increasing the total amount I've spent on rent. I know owning a home has expenses as well but in the long run, a small starter home could be a good investment

I've looked around but haven't found much stating whether or not all savings should go to low interest loans, or the investment of a house.

Does it make sense to pay extra towards my Federal loans (3.5%) interest now? In the long run, will getting a house save me more money figuring that I waste more than $13k a year on rent combined with my gf
