Hey, all. So, I just threw together my 3rd batch, thought I'd see what you all thought.
3/4 gal water
4 lbs clover honey
1.75 - 2 lbs strawberries (not an exact measurement)
lalvin D47
nutrient and energizer, accordingly.
I'm know I'm a total noob when it comes to mead making, but I hope this works out. I'm super paranoid about cleanliness, I think I sanitized my stuff like 2-3 times..
I just moved into a place where they grow organic fruit, so I had access to a 5 pound bag of frozen strawberries. That's why it was hard for me to measure exactly. It weighed around 5 pounds when I started, and weighs around 3 pounds now. Then, of course, backsweeten however I find it necessary.
I plan on racking it over another pound or two of the berries for secondary, with a little bit of honey / water to bring it up to level.
OG was around 1.13.
So, thoughts, critique, etc?
Also, I'm definitely going to embark on a few more 1 gallon adventures in the future - any good suggestions?
