I brewed up a one gallon batch of blackberry mead a few weeks ago and just got around to bottling it last night. It tasted quite strong at bottling, but not too sweet which is what I was going for. The blackberries seem to have a natural bittering effect.
Here is the ingredient list:
1.33 lb Honey
1.5 lb Blackberries that had been frozen
1 oz Ginger Root
1.5 lb Sugar
1 tsp Lemon Juice
1 pckt Montrachet Yeast
I brewed it on 9/3/2008, the OG was 1.054, and I bottled it last night on 10/5/2008, and the FG was 1.002. I'll be sure to put my thoughts on the taste here in about 3 weeks when it is carbonated and I am back from my business trip.
Anyone else ever make anything similar?
