So this may be a stupid question, but i am a bit confused how you guys are flavoring your meads and storing them in 1G jugs.
Are you fermenting in 2-3G carboys/buckets, throwing fruit in and then putting it in 1G jugs?
Using artificial flavoring and just fermenting in 1G jugs?
Coming from the beer world i dont see how your possibly adding any fruit to 1G jugs as the fruit(like blueberrys) balloon up absorbing the liquid and you'd lose a ton of mead and space in your jug...and i see all of these bright red or blue flavored jugs filled all the way to the neck as the should be.
Im looking at making 2 gallons, preferably the same base with 2 different flavors. I was thinking of fermenting it in a 3g carboy, then transferring to two glass 1g jugs to age, but how do i flavor them?!
