I like to leave my meads and ciders in a carboy for at least 3 months (I'll rack off primary after 4-6 weeks), or as long as 6-9 months, depends if I'm adding addiitonal fermentables, and sometimes they just ferment really slow no matter how much nutrient you add. I find that honey and fruit throw a lot of lees and other crap for quite a while. This stuff disturbs easily, so I don't want in my finished product.

Thinking of making some Graff, was planning a Belgian ale and thought I might use the second runnings to provide the malt portion. Anyone have experience on this?
