Hey there folks, I wasn't sure if this post is more appropriate in the recipe section or here. So if it needs to be moved, please do. I felt the recipe section was for tried and true recipies, and this post is more a "how does this sound?" type.
Anywho, I've only made one mead, and it turned out fairly sweet. Almost dessert wine sweet. So my goal here is to go drier, I'd love a hint of sweetness in it.
My plan is to make 5 gallons. I have 10lbs of honey, about 8lbs of blueberries, and plan to use 1 vial of liquid "Sweet Mead" yeast. Just wanting to ask if there's anything glaringly wrong with this idea.
I've been told 2lbs/ 1 gallon is a good ratio for a dry mead, so my plan is that with the added sugars from the blueberries that it'll get a lil sweetness to it.
Thoughts? Comments?
