Hey AHB Crew!
So after 8 weeks of fermenting, the orange slices in my Jao Recipe mead have dropped! I was preparing to bottle when I thought that I should allow the mead to clear up beforehand.

I chucked the carboy into my fermenting fridge (currently set at 1c for lagering) and thought that it would clear up a bit. it's now been in there for 2 days and I haven't noticed any clearing happening.

Any ideas for why this is? Pectin haze from the orange slices? I didn't boil them or anything? Should I worry about the cloudiness or just bottle it as is? Thanks guys any help appreciated!
