I like juniper berries in my beer, and I like herbal teas made from meadowsweet and hibiscus (never tried yarrow before but it smells good), so I thought I'd try the mead located here https://www.norsetradesman.com/blogs/news/fill-your-horn-with-this-viking-era-mead (5 gallon). First, I note that there are several scaling math errors there that concerned me (dried juniper berry amounts and weight of honey being the two major ones), so I corrected for those. It says to add the herbs and juniper berries when you add the yeast, or after the must starts fermenting if you're going the wild method (I am), so when I started getting active fermentation, I added the berries and herbs and stirred them in. The website says to leave them in overnight, but this seems like too short of a time to obtain much of a flavor profile from them. Furthermore, racking to secondary right after fermentation becomes active seems too early and that I would deprive the must of vital yeast if I did so. So, should I just leave the stuff in there for a week or so before racking it off to secondary, or should I filter out the ingredients via the funnel/cheesecloth method tomorrow, or should I just rack it off to secondary early?
