About 4 months ago I started a "mother mead". 12 pounds clover honey, champaign yeast and water to 5 gallons. I split this into 5 x 1 gallon secondaries on top of frozen blueberries, blackberries, cherries, peaches and strawberries. Left on fruit for 2 weeks, then racked off. Will rack once or twice off of the remaining sediment, then I intend to add a little flavor concentrate to each ( I'd like a little more flavor intensity). I could not find strawberry flavoring, so I'm going to use a little strawberry jello mix instead.
I think this will work. Are there any better options for strawberry flavoring?
Kool aid mix maybe??
After it's clear, I'll age for several months before bottling. The colors are amazing! Once I decide which one I like best, I'll make a 5 gal batch of it.
Happy Holidays to all,
Dave
