I racked off the pulp today on this mead. It smells really really good. Just like raspberries. Gravity is at .994 as is. A racked into a 3 gallon and a 1 liter bottles because the raspberry purée I added did not condense well so there is a lot of list volume. I will let it sit for final clearing and then will finally back sweeten.
I tasted the gravity sample and a bit more left in the siphon. It is really good now. If you like dry reds then this is great. Only a slight bitterness and not too acidic or tart. I think I will just incrementally sweeten this one to just bring out the raspberry fruitiness a bit.
