so this will be my 1st batch and i just wanna make sure i understand this and get it right.
so im gonna try making a blackberry mead,
pour 5 gallons of distilled into fermenter
pour 12lbs honey in, ill more then likely use wildflower
stir till all is dissolved
add 8lbs of blackberrys
pitch yeast
seal and leave it alone for 30 days or till airlock slows to 1 bubble per 30sec
rack into carboy
leave it alone for 90 days min or more
then bottle.
Bentonite to clarify
a few drops of lemon juice to stop ferment
the yeast i am using is Lalvin 71B-1122
i hope this is right
