The blackberry melomel (mead) is bottled! About 22.6 liters or so total. ;)
Sipping on a glass of dregs from the fill hose and it even tastes great. Alcohol presence that will mellow, fruity from the berries and floral from the honey. I'm very happy with the results.
12 bombers with crown caps for long term aging (maybe;), 12 liters, 4 pints.
50 days start to finish.

Racked the blackberry melomel (mead) again.
it's been done fermenting for a week or more, been letting clear up a little. FG around 1.002. Degassed and potassium sorbate added. I'll back sweeten it with 2 lbs (900g) honey tomorrow plus chitosan and let it clear up. The honey is July 2024 vintage that did not crystalize.
It tastes good, very floral.

I racked the blackberry melomel (mead) into a carboy. Since the fruit was in a bag this process just removes seeds which were the only thing left in the bag. I topped it up with 1 cup of water, 15 grams of bentonite, and less than 100 grams of honey. The top of the carboy volume is always deceiving.

Started a blackberry melomel (mead) today. 12 lbs / 5.5 kg blackberries, 9 lbs / 4 kg July honey, and Lalvin 71B yeast.
I put a little sugar on top of the blackberries as they thawed along with some pectic enzyme. Mashed good, 2 days from frozen to fermenter. The juice was about 14 brix or 1.057 SG.
Put all the berries in a brew bag, added a big heavy glass mug for weight, diluted the honey, rehydrated the yeast, and done. OG was 1.060.
