Combine all ingredients, mix, and aerate thoroughly with a kitchen mixer or immersion blender. Creating about 1 quart more than 5 gallons of must will allow you to completely fill your secondary 5-gallon carboy while leaving behind all of the lees. Stir vigorously with each addition to de-gas the mead. Transfer to secondary when fermentation has completed (21–28 days, may be slightly longer for 1056 yeast). Age 6–12 months. If the mead has not cleared completely, you can fine with Sparkolloid per manufacturer’s instructions. One more racking will help minimize sediment in your finished bottles. Bottle only after all signs of fermentation activity have ceased.
