I'll quote from "An Essay on Brewing..." by John F. Adams, whose
guidelines I use for making mead:

Mead ferments rather slowly. By its very nature, honey is antiseptic,
which means to the brewer that it tends to kill the yeast which are
feeding on it.... In a mild, consistent temperature, it will take two
months at least and probably longer...if you have used four pounds of
honey per gallon.
*****
Most of my mead batches are jugged for two to four months, then
bottled just before the fermentation has worked out, giving a mild
sparkle.

Enjoy.
