How does this sound for proportion and ingredients... This is not mine i found it on http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques28.asp
Would this be prity dry or not.?. I want to find a good gallon mead and experment with fruit!
Thanks for any opinions!
Blueberry Mead (1 gallon)
2 lb clover honey
2 12-oz bag blueberries (frozen)
1 used teabag jasmine tea
1/2 tsp pectic enzyme
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Red Star Champagne yeast.
Mix honey into 3 qts water and bring to boil. Boil 20 minutes, skimming off any scum that forms. Meanwhile, place thawed blueberries in nylon straining bag and mash in primary. Pour boiling water over blueberries, used teabag, pectic enzyme, and yeast nutrient. When cooled to 70-75 degrees, sprinkle wine yeast over surface. Cover and squeeze nylon bag daily for 7 days. Drain blueberries, squeezing well to extract flavor. Discard teabag. Transfer liquid to secondary, fit airlock and ferment additional 30 days. Rack, top up and refit airlock. Stabilize when clear, wait 10 days, and rack into bottles. Age 1-2 years. [Adapted from a traditional recipe]
