Hi guys.
I bottled two batches of mead a few days ago ( had been clear for a few weeks with no bubbles when flashlight testing) and just transported 3 bottles by car to my girlfriends house. They may have been slightly shaken by the car journey but now when looking at them each bottle has 3 or 4 small bubbles in the neck. One bottle fell over and I noticed about 10 tiny bubbles rising through the mead. I'm meant to be giving one of the bottles away as an Xmas present in a few days but now am worried that I may be giving away mead grenades :/ I degassed both batches as much as I thought necessary before bottling and am really worried. Is there a normal/ acceptable amount of bubbling when the mead is disturbed??? A quick answer would be of great help!
