I just got done starting the first melomel I have ever made. It is a Blueberry Melomel.I have talked about starting one for quite awhile and finally got all the ingredients together.
Here's the recipe
6 GallonBlueberry Melomel12/ 21 /09
15 lbs.Honey adjust to get SG to 1.095
15 lbs.BlueberriesSteam juiced=6 qts.
2 Qts.Blueberry juice (store Bought )
Water to 6 gallons less 3 qts.
Acid Blendto.60 TA
10 tsp Yeast Nutrient
3 tspYeast Energizer
6 tspPectic Enzyme
2 packets71B – 1122Wine Yeast
Dissolve Honey in warm water in primary bucket. Add juice and stir . Adjust acid as needed. Add remaining ingredients except yeast. Wait 12 hrs , make a starter and add to must.
NOTE:Only add 3 Qts.Steamedjuice in primary and remaining juice when racked to glass
How does it look? any suggestions?With my water being low in nutrients I have to add extra. I will also add this in stages.
Here are some pics
