Well, I was considering my next meading attempt (as you read, I was considering maple). I was just looking for lunch tomorrow in the basement freezer when I came across three ice-cream containers of last year's berry harvest (blue, rasp, and straw). There's probably about 1.5-2 pounds of each. Not enough for fruiting a full batch on their own, and I don't have any smaller fermenters currently available.
Does anyone have any opinions on the mixing of the berry flavors? I suspect the color would come out to a reddish purple, with the purple of the blueberries overpowering the red of the others, most likely. I'm confidence that blue and rasp can be mixed easily, but i'm wondering if anyone has ever tried this with strawberries, as well. They have a very strong flavor, and I'd be concerned with it clashing with the other berries.
Well, the berries aren't getting any fresher, and the bee farmer's (hee hee.. milking their wee little teats) been giving me deals recently, so I figure there's nothing to lose.
