Starting a melomel.
1 gal spring water
48 oz honey
16 oz strawberries
36 oz blueberries
1.3 kg blackberries
1/2 lemon skin (zested)
I didnt account for the juice when getting my OG which was 1.090 prior to adding fruit. It changed to 1.078 a few hours later. I want myfinal alcohol to be closer to 12%. Should I add more honey? I havent added the yeast yet to allow for more of the flavor to leech into the honey/water. I am going to use EC-1118.
