Re: Mead in bucket for a year

somewhere here, I read about this.  You might look back a few thousand
posts.  It shouldn't be a problem.
Take you children with you, decide which one you love the least and give him
a drink.  If it doesn't make him sick rack it, add some campden and go from
there.

No kids,  relatives, irritating neighbors work as well.
Ok, I have had my reality back.  Was the carboy airlocked or open.  I would
be concerned that if it were not sealed somehow contaminants might be in
there.  However, I would rack it to a secondary, add some sulfite and let it
sit for a while then bottle it.

I'm hoping I haven't ruined it but I made a batch of mead about a year
ago and still have it in the plastic bucket.  I racked it once, about
a week into fermentation, then pretty much got busy and forgot about
it.  Didn't help that my wife put it in a closet while cleaning up,
but it's still my fault.  I'm going to rack it to my carboy today,
leave it a couple weeks to make sure nothing happens, then bottle it,
hopefully next weekend.  Any chance that this could just work out as
advance aging?
