I am in the process of making a multi berry melomel. I am about ready to add my 2nd addition of fruit to the secondary. I used a mesh bag in the primary and just made sure to push the bag down 1 or 2 times a day. I wasn't worried about adding oxygen because of the fermentation going on.
So, how should I go about it with the fruit in the secondary? Do I need to punch the cap down 1 or 2 times a day like I had to do with the primary? My biggest concern is adding oxygen. Any thoughts on this and how many of you would use a mesh bag with these fruits...blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and cherries?
