Just thought I'd give an update on this. Its been going strong for about 3.5 weeks, and I just racked into secondary at 1.000. Tasted a bit bitter, but I think this might be the ginger after taste. I decided to add some good apple juice to fill the empty space at the top, and maybe add a hint of apple. The total I added was maybe 1/3 gallon. It is still very cloudy, and had decent activity before racking (1bub /20 sec). Overall, seems to be going well though. Thanks for all the help.
I started a gallon of pumpkin mead in the holiday spirit, using the aggressive yeast I had originally bought to restart the previous batch. The fermentation definitely had an explosive start, and is going smooth all around.
