Two Meads Checking In

I racked these meads into secondary fermeters today.  That’s 22 days in the primary for those of you keeping score at home.  After racking I added to each secondary:

1 oz medium toast Hungarian oak cubes

2 1/2 vanilla beans, quartered

The White Cran Peach mead is already clearing up nicely.  The Pineapple Coconut is cloudy as can be, but at least the foam ceased and desisted.  I am not sure whether this mead will ever turn clear, or whether something like pectic enzyme would help.  Who knows?  Ken Schramm or Jay Russ might.  Maybe I will send an e-mail or two and try to find out.
