Racking the mead again.

I missed the first racking of the mead, it happened after we all dragged ourselves in from RUM, but Lavena looked at the carboy and decided it was time to separate the mead from the peach/yeast sediment.

That light stuff is the sediment.

Lavena and Cato are washing the 3 and 1 gallon carboys that the mead will go into.  Chlorox is involved.

This is Lavena washing out the siphon with cheap vodka.

Here goes the siphoning!  I missed the start of the siphon, but it looks like they just used the dissimilar level method to get it going.

And the second carboy…

Here’s all the equipment, including the slop pan, and the leftover sediment.


Melbrigda brought the yeasty sediment home to try in bread-baking.  I hope it’s good!
