I'm going to make a strawberry mead using a steam juicer. I have a couple of questions:
1/ What kind of gravity range should I expect? I realize that the gravity will probably be reduced the longer I steam a batch, but what ranges are people seeing?
2/ What level of tannin extraction should I expect? More or less than fermenting on the pulp?
3/ Somewhat related to #1, but is this more or less efficient than crushing and juicing the strawerries? I'm trying to figure out if I need to adjust the amount of strawberries in my recipe.
