blueberry options

[StevenM]

Ok I have a blueberry mead in primary. 14 lbs homey 5 gallons water, nutrient and d47 and 5 lbs of blueberry, in primary about 7-10 days. My secondary will be an additional 3 pounds of blueberries and 1 month in secondary. Next I want to split the batch into smaller 1 gallon carboys.

Im trying to decide how to do them differently. I think I'll do one with no additional additives, 1 with a vanilla bean or two, 1 with toasted oak chips, etc...I figure another month with these other additives then rack and sit alone for awhile. What other things can I do to this mead to try out flavors you have had good results from?

Try about 10 bags of sleepy time tea extra wellness. It is from celestial seasonings and I bet it will make a great addition to blue berry. See link below.

Just keep the tea in the bags and drop 10 in the gallon jug. Rack on top of it.

You might try adding a couple oz of molasses or craisins. Maybe a 1/2lb of raisins or another pound or 2 of honey. An oz or 2 of grated fresh ginger might be interesting, or even a sprig of mint. You could always mix up the fruit too, maybe add some blackberries and/or strawberries and/or rasberries.

Lemon Juice. About 1/4 cup for a gallon. Trust me it will bring out the blueberry flavor.

Hmm, other things to do: Mint, ansie, allspice, Cherries or Strawberries, Polmagranite, not all at once but one for each.
