@robot797 Really. Ive never used one of those hand corkers(Portuguse floor corker here)but they look like they do a shitty job. Doesnt even get the cork all the way in and it looks like alot of effort. Imagin doing 5 gallons like that. No thanks lol

how many bottles broke when you were corking them?

And does that make it a dry mead or will it still be sweet once its done?

Well, about a year later and I now have 17 bottles of some fairly decent mead. Thx for the videos and advice, they were a great help throughout the whole process. :)
Next project: Better than fairly decent mead.

In your experience, is it normal for fining agents to re-activate the fermentation process somewhat?

@MrRubenRibnik no, not tupically. But the act of bottling or racking stirs things up and that can be the cause.

Questions:
Alcohol content is directly related to the sugar content?
The higher amount of sugars in the initial fermenting process the higher Alcohol content?
If I wanted to make a stronger mead...would adding a corn-starch be a Kosher way to raise the alcohol content...could i use cane sugar...or would the higher honey to water ratio be the best way?

Alcohol content is more directly related to the type of yeast you use. Each type of yeast has a tolerance for alcohol. Once that tolerance is reached the yeast will die off and stop the ferment. So, if you want ot achieve a certain alcohol percentage you will need to choose an appropriate yeast.
