I've been a lurker for some time and really enjoy this digest...now its my turn 
to ask a question. 
   Im a newbie to meadmaking...so I have a few questions. 
OK heres the deal:   I started a basic mead in late november and the s.g. has 
gone from a 1.08 to 1.00.  It is still sitting patiently in the carboy waiting 
to be bottled.  I think its safe to say that its ready to be bottled but I'd 
like it to be a sparkling mead.  My question is...are all the yeasties 
exhausted?  Do I need to add more yeast when I add the cornsugar?   If so how do 
I do that?  make a starter or just dump in the rehydrated yeast?  Will that 
cloud my mead?  Its so nice and clear right now. 

  Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
