I am trying a raspberry-short mead, I think they are called rudamel.
started with 1 gal boiled water
add little more than 1.5 lb honey
add handful raisins
SG was about 1.06 (aiming for 7.5% ABV)
Added yeast nutrient every 24 hours for first 3 days. Fermented to 1.013
On day 5 added 2 cups raspberry juice + sugar (mixed to be a matching must of 1.06)
It is fermenting nicely, now on day 6. It is a BEAUTIFUL bright, rich red color. If it stays anything like this it will be some wonderful looking session mead.
