Wild Wineberry Mead/Cider. I picked 10lbs of berries in July and made 1gal cider and 1gal mead, each with half the berries. After racking, I took the dregs from each and combined them. After the yeast settled out for a week, I took the clear portion to drink. Very tart, certainly needs backsweetening. I made half of each batch sparkling and I think that will work really nicely.
