First time Poster.
I am a long time brewer, mead maker and bee keeper. I'm looking for help or suggested recipes for an Elderberry Mead.
Just finished picking a huge amount of elderberry, now all frozen. From searching this forum, seems some people do not cook the berries, I get that, not sure I agree.
Also, I'm confused about doing primary ferment on the fruit (cooked or not).
I want to do 5 gal's but not thinking of doing 3 or 4 variations, but just so much work.
My yeast choices are D47 or KIV-1116
I appreciate all input, many thanks, recipes or links would be great.
