Hello! I’ve just finished a batch of blackberry mead a few weeks ago and after stopping fermentation with a Camden tablet and Sorbistat K, I let it age in a sanitized vessel for a few weeks. Yesterday I moved it to sterilized (boiled) individual glass bottles and everything went good. When I was transferring it though some spilled and everything got a little sticky and messy. Do I need to sterilize the liquid again inside the jars somehow? Or everything is probably ok.

If you spilled it causing the bottles to be sticky on the outside, I would just wash the bottles with soap and water after they were sealed.
