Hey guys,
I have some new questions.
First, what do you think of this recipe I tried.
1Kg mixed berries (raspberry, strawberry and blackberry)-1/4 crushed, the rest in pieces.
6,5kg mostly wildflower honey.(very good quality).
15 raisins
Peel of one orange
2 tbs. of bee polen
Juice of 2 lemons and 1 lime.
OG 1150.
I admit I did it kind of spontaneously, and wasn´t very precise, but it´s hard to screw up red berries right? It seems to be going great (day 2, bubbling mad, the whole room smeels like heaven).
Now, the questions.
-Do you think adding one or two straws (?) of vanilla in such a big must would do anything. And would vanilla even taste (or match) in such a strong flavoured mead?
-The room I´m using it´s still being conditioned as a brewing room. I sealed almost the whole window but some sun still gets in. It doesn´t hit the must directly, but the room gets pretty sunny. Is that a big problem?
-Temperatures very quite a bit here in the day-night cycle. Is that a big problem?
-I have a cat at home, and of course it doesn´t get near the brewing room, but still, lots of fur in the house. Should I take any sanitizing special care?
Thanks
