You have a lot of air space in there.... get it topped up with a similar wine. You don't want oxidated mead!
What flavor is it??

Orange flavor , dont have anything similar . I just racked outa primary and pulled all the orange slices out , along with raisins and cinn. stick . It was almost full then but this is what was left after racking .

Ahhh it's Joe's Ancient Orange. You reall want to rack it down... I use 1.5 liter bottles.. I have a variety of stoppers to fit many size bottles. You risk not being happy with the results if you leave that much head space.

You could top with a neutral wine... liebfraumilch... cheap anything that doesn't have a strong flavor. I would just rack it to smaller bottles. I have some of the newer jugs that are about .75 of what the gallon is. They give you less for the same money!!

If it is still airlocked and not de gaqssed its ok

Take it for what itis worth, mine has been sitting that way since Christmas or so. But it has been cold in my basement, finally starting to warm up. Think I'm gonna rack that into 750 ml bottles, but am still wondering if it is fermenting. Arne.
