Hey all, I have a question or two I hope I can get some help with!
So I'm curious about adding fruit. I've made a few melomels so far, and I've put the fruit in a few different ways (typically in the primary though). I've tried using whole fruit but with mixed results because some of it seemed to come out rancid. Would this be an indication of contamination?
Also, I was thinking of using a fruit press of some kind next time, and just adding juice rather than the fruit itself so that it just ferments completely into the mead. I guess I'm just kind of curious if people have had good results this way, and what kind of press they use (most of the ones I see online are kind of pricey!).
Thanks for any insight!
