Put another 6 gallons of this on today, as we're down to just 6 bottles of our original batch! This time I added a few vanilla beans to the primary -- got a bunch of beans for really cheap. Of the 2 dozen or so batches I've made in my short time making wine, this is far and away my favorite!

My uncle brought some of his ten year old blueberry mead to thanksgiving and now I'm totally convinced this is the next thing I want to get brewing.
Question: About how many pounds of honey are in a gallon?
So I bottled my blueberry mead this past weekend, and the bluberry flavor isn't very pronounced. I think it would be better to add the blueberries to secondary rather than include them in primary.
Going to be making this in a few hours... still waiting for my blueberries to freeze.
As soon as they are I will proceed to mix 13lbs of honey with water in my carboy. I then will mash my 7 lbs of blueberries and throw them in as well as the energizer, the nutrient, and some camden pills. Tomorrow I throw in the 3 packets of D-47.
The sooner I do this, the sooner I drink. I don't plan on bottling for 4 months which will be really hard.
