Bottled my first mead today, Blueberry melomel.
While I agree it's beautiful, how did you make a blueberry mead that isn't blue /purple?

Prickly pear mead. Racked and stabilized today, I'll backsweeten soon.
How did you add the prickly pear and how much? it sounds great.

I didnt mash the blueberries, I only frozen them and thaw them right before add them in the carboy.
I probably didnt get many flavors of the berries but the taste test was very good

The rewarewa mead I put in seems strong. never tried mead before but I assumed honey flavour wouldnt be so strong after some comments I have read. Not sure how to back sweeten for fear of adding any more honey taste. Worry about that once my plain batch is ready.
My first Mead! Pomegranate Acai, added a half gallon each of pom juice and "sambazon" acai puree smoothie in secondary. OG at 1.114, Finished quite dry at 1.000. Prickly pear or dragon fruit mead sounds awesome! I may make a batch of that next, we will see if my dragon fruit cactus bears well this year, or I can find some prickly pear at the farmer's market.
As promised: Bochet, to be bottled shortly. Poured tasting from a hydrometer sample.
One of the best I've made so far.
Onihige said:They sell syrup, not sap. Would still make an intresting mead though.
Just saves you from having to convert it. You'd have to boil the sap down to remove the water they just do it for you.
Onihige said:Again, we're talking about different things. My mead's a birch sap mead, not a birch syrup mead.
Just birch sap, honey and yeast.
