So I've been working on a blueberry melomel:
1 gal batch
3.5 lb local honey
18 oz blueberries
1 tsp yeast nutrient
WL sweet mead yeast
OG about 1.110 but with a little headspace for water later in carboy
I added the nutrient yesterday because after a week, the gravity had only changed to a little over 1.090 which is much slower than I expected. My question, though, is how long is too long to keep the blueberry skins in the must? The recipe I'm basing this recipe from expects they will be in for 5 days and it could be two weeks before the recommended gravity to remove. Thanks!
