Hey guys,
I have a Eugenia Uniflora tree in my garden and it's fruits are calling to me...
In case you don't know what it is (I didn't know the fruit until I had a tree), it's also known as the Surinam Cherry or Brazillian Cherry. Google it.
In case you're wondering about the fruit itself: is the size of a cherry, has an orange/red color, tastes like a combination of tomato and yellow bell pepper with some sourness and sweetness.
Yesterday, I was at my HBS and saw small fermentation vessels (10 Liters) and decided it's time to experiment. I've been wanting to make mead for a few years now and never have..
Anyhoo, I don't suppose someone has any experience with this fruit in beer/mead..? The plan is to make mead with it.
This thread is mostly just for me to document the process and share with you guys the weirdly awesome fruit.
11/5 - Took down a bit more of 2 Kgs of fruit from the tree, and stuck in the freezer. In a few days i'll take some more down.
