So I had a free afternoon unexpectedly and decided to whip up a melomel on the fly. I grabbed 6# of frozen cherries and 3# frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blue, black and raspberries) and added them in primary to a 4 gallon batch with 12# of wildflower honey.
I am a beer guy and didn't do enough homework on this one so I made the mistake of getting sweet cherries instead of tart (they didn't have tart) which I am now reading is a surefire way to make cough syrup mead.
I am day 3 into a VIGOROUS (read explosive) ferment...is there any way to save this melomel from the dreaded 'robitussin' curse???
