Following the beer method of adding fruit to the secondary after most fermentation is complete, I will be racking my mead onto the loquats tomorrow. Fermentation has slowed to a bubble every 30 seconds or so.
In looking over Melomel recipes I see that most add fruit to the primary. Is there some reason for this? I am making another 3 gallons and am would like to know if anyone has an opinion on this?
Should I start with the fruit? It would seem that I would get more flavor by racking after fermentation is almost over like I do with beer. Perhaps there is a reason mead is different?
