All, I am sorry to post this type of thread, but I've posted a mead fermentation thread in the Fermentation forum...it's a big question about my blueberry mead that is over-flowing secondary....would love your feedback....

If it would be better to re-post that information here, please let me know.

I did the same with a 8lbs in primary and 8lbs in secondary. My blueberry skins/pulp took about 6 days in the secondary to poof up and come close to overflowing. I used the handle to my brew paddle to stir the gass bubbles out and make the berries go back down. I had to do this every day for a week and a half then the fermentaion stopped at that point. I would remove blueberries from your secondary till it is under controll. Mine went dry and became overly tart from the blueberries. I have k-meta/sorbed it and am in the process of backsweetening with honey. Good luck on yours.
