Hi everyone I'm new here to this forum. I wading through the posts here looking for an answer to my question and didnt see it. I have just made my first mead on the 11th of Nov. Ingredients are 10.5lbs local clover honey (I kept 1.5 lbs to back sweeten), yeast nutrients, champagne yeast, water to top off to 4.5 gallons.... OG 1.108. I did 4.5 gallons so after the primary stops I can transfer and add fruit... a bunch of mixed berries.
Here's the question. Do I just add the berries whole? smash them up? puree them?
I will be adding some fresh and frozen. Im also guessing wash fresh berries good to remove any "wild stuff".
Thank you for any help
