Seem to have lost the one I had and dont want to use a generic one off the internet so I thought Id check in with my fellow stoners for the good stuff Need me some Mead !
Finding good ripe fresh fruit, and hand picking it.
First make the mead, let it age for a few months, then add your blackberries and more honey in a secondary ferment.
14 lbs. blackberry or other honey in primary 2 lbs. blackberry or other hone in secondary 10 lbs. blackerries in secondary Lalvin 71B-1122 yeast for primary
Heat the 14 lbs. honey to 140 F by adding it to 1 gallon 200 F water. Don't keep heating, just stir it in and that's about the temp you will get. Then add 3 gallons cold water to your fermenter, the somewhat cooled honey, add yeast at 70 F, ferment at 65 F.
Wait 3 months.
Add 2 lbs. honey to 1/2 gallon of 200 F water, stir in well, add your fruit, stir in well, cool to 65 F and add to fermenter. Top to 6 gallons. USE a BLOWOFF TUBE for the fruit fermentation. Wait 2-3 weeks. Rack through cheesecloth to get out fruit/seeds.
