Made it home after the flight from hell. I accidentally took a cab to the wrong airport, missed my flight, and the next soonest flight out was the next day so I spent the night in the airport.
My linden honey mead No.051524 survived the trip with some very minor leaks. I knew it wasn't 100% done fermenting but close enough to done that I wasn't worried about sealing it in bottles for a little while. No disasters occurred. One bottle did leak a tiny bit, but that was less too do with fermentation CO2 pressure build up, and more to do with the fact that It was a honey jar with a metal lid that wasn't quite as airtight as the lids/corks on the other bottles I was able to pack. Just a tiny wet spot on the packing paper I wrapped it in. No damage to the items in my suitcase.
I finally got a hydrometer reading on it (I forgot to bring my hydrometer with on my trip) and it's not quite dry yet, but the D-47 yeast I used is taking a long time to ferment that last tiny bit of honey so I added a little EC-1118 yeast to finish it off. I didn't rehydrate it properly first. Hopefully it still gets going.
I'm pretty sure I left my wine thief (which is actually a stainless steel turkey baster I am using as a wine thief) at my sister's house. Oops.
The rubber stopper on my blackberry honey mead No.011324 was ajar when I returned. I tasted it. It doesn't have that wet cardboard taste that comes from oxygenation, but it doesn't taste good either. I bottled it in any case. I'll try it in a couple months and see if it tastes better or worse.
I racked my silver needle tea mead No.032324 to narrow mouth containers to age. Didn't taste it. It still less than 3 months old.
