Put the jug again in the warm dark place and do not disturb it for10 days.
After 10 days the bubbling should have stopped. If not, wait longer.
When the liquid stopped bubbling the fermentation is completed.
Put the jug in the refrigerator for 24 hours to kill the yeast. Put the mead into the other
empty jug without pouring the residue.
Leave this jug to sit for a few days for any sediment to complete settle.
After the sediments settled, filter the mead through the coffee filters into bottles.
The mead in the bottles should be clear, if not re-filter as many times as necessary.
