Just racked into the secondary. Seems to be doin alright. Tastes very dry but not much alcohol. Will give another update in a few weeks.

Well i did add some more sugar. As far as aeration i shook it up pretty good at the initial start to get the yeast going. this is probably why all my brews burn like hell

I use a tool similar to this for aerating all my brews, you can also use it to degas before bottling also. https://www.morebeer.com/products/lees-stirrer.html

As for the burn, if it’s over 10-12% I’d hold a bottle or two for a year and see how much the burn mellows, age really helps. I age all my meads about six months before trying the first one, but usually about a year before I start drinking them since they burn a bit.

Thats exactly what i do. I made some apple wine back in november. Ive bottled since then but its been bottle aging for several months and each time i open one it gets a lot better.
