I've been researching meads for two days straight and I'm getting some conflicting procedures. This is my plan, if anyone can turn me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
mix honey, warm water, fruit until blended
add to fermeter, shake like a mother
add yeast culture after room temp, stir gently
rubber band coffee filter to top (was told meads need to breath for a week or so?)
stir/break cap 3 times a day and oxygenate for a week (wont the cap mold?)
start using the airlock/bubble lock for 1 more week?
rack it still using air lock (discard old fruit, rack onto new fruit for extra flavor?)
let sit for a month?
That's all I've got... I started a practice 1 gallon batch for my first time brew and the strawberries are at the top and losing color after 3 days. the bottle WAS reddish the first day but now the liquid is brown again. Someone help!
