Hi, I have made 1 gallon of mead with roughly 2.2lbs of honey, and 1.5lbs of blackberries. It has been fermenting for two days now, and i have been periodically removing the airlock and cork to mix it up with the handle of a wooden spoon. I froze the berries and added them whole (I NOW KNOW THIS WAS A MISTAKE). They are always floating at the top. Is this a problem? When should i rack the mead into a new carboy so that the berries dont add an off flavour?
Thanks!
Thanks!
