So last weekend I siphoned my experimental Pomegranate Mead into secondary. I had a chance to taste it. It was not as sweet as it was when I started it, so the yeast has done a good job so far. Spices that I added came through strong.
I added a cup or so of sugar to re-invigorate the yeast and the airlock bubbled well for four days. Last night I put it into the pump-house which is, this time of year, around 40°F. I figure to leave it there until equinox, then prime it and bottle it.

Question is, should I add new yeast? Stir it first and keep the existing yeast?

Any advice welcomed.

Sorry to hear about your friend and companion. Just remember all the good times you had. That will make the loss easier.

I finished off the last bottle of my hard cider. I'll have to re-think making that stuff again. Too many silly things happen after a glass or two ;)
