Racked off my Ruby Hooker Mead today.
Raspberries floating in mead
The first thing I noticed when I opened the lid was the smell. STRONG ALCOHOL SMELLS! It also had a strong raspberry odor and an almost wine like characteristic. Transferring the mead went well, and the color on the mead is amazing!

Mead tranferring into carboy
There were some floaties that made its way into the carboy as well, so this will need to be racked off once again before bottling. I plan on keeping it in the carboy for several months before bottling, to get as many of those sugars converted to alcohol as I can. This is going to be an awesome drink when it’s done!
