Hello everyone,
I've made a melomel with raspberries, I put about 6.5 pounds in 4 gallons of mead.
When the mead was done fermenting to my liking it was around 1.008, I crashed it to near 34f to get the yeast to drop then dropped in the raspberries for about 5 days.
The sample was tasting awsome, but then when I started transferring to another keg I noticed only the beginnig being a thick raspberry colour but all the rest after was very clear and light.
I got about 2 glasses that where allright but from there it went downhill very fast.
Seems to me that most of the raspberrie puree dropped to the bottom and didnt mix with the melomel at all.
Are there any tricks to keep the fruit puree in suspension?
I'm thinkint to try to add my fruit near end of fermentaion for the next time and hopefully the fermentation will move it enough around to get a better mix.
Cheers!
