It's cloudy, and you can see the sediment (the yeast) hanging out on the bottom and the ridges of the bottle. At this point, we've racked it into a plastic container with campden tablets to kill the remaining yeast. That should help clarify the rest of the liquid. After it's sat for a week (or two or three, knowing us), we should be able to re-rack it and add honey to sweeten it.
At this point, I can tell you that the mead is better tasting than it was the first time, by far. It is not as harsh as it was, and the color has deepened. I have hopes that this experiment just might work!!
