Last night I started a purple mead. I came across purple sweet potatoes, and thought it would look cool. Yes I started this batch because I thought it would look cool
I boiled the potatoes (a bit under two pounds) for about an hour, cooled the water, threw everything into my primary with three pounds of local wildflower honey, to make a gallon. Stirred and pitched my yeast. It had a wicked red/purple colour. I got so caught up with everything I forget to take my og reading. :-(
Now my question for you guys, when I rack into my secondary, I want to flavor it, but with what? Lavender and the sort will be cliche. I want to mess with my friends heads and have it taste good.
Thoughts, suggestions and comments more than welcome.
