Notes: Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix immediately after pitching yeast.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 24 hours after fermentation begins.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 48 hours after fermentation begins.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix after 30% of the sugar has been depleted.

Special Instructions / Notes:
Berries were frozen and then mostly thawed. I squished the bags of fruit to break them up a bit and used a large mouth funnel to get them into the carboy.

I did not heat the honey at all, just dumped right into carboy. I heated up some of the water I was using for top off and used that warm water to rinse the honey out of the jars and into the carboy. Used a paint stir bar on a drill to mix honey and water (and oxygenate). Added berries and gave a gentle stir to mix everything

Fermented at 68 degrees for three to four weeks with staggered nutrient additions

Cap management is important for releasing toxic CO2 and preventing temperature buildup below the cap. I swirled the carboy once in the morning and once in the evening for about 5 days to mix the fruit cap back down and release CO2

You will lose a lot of mead to the berries. I chilled the carboy down, racked to a secondary off the berries, chilled that carboy down, let set for a week or so, then kegged. This mead can plug a keg line easily if you're not careful.

Can taste a bit like children's cough syrup early on but eventually smoothes out, I haven't been able to keep any longer than a year before drinking it all.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS
1 cup (190 g) corn sugar (if priming in bottles)
Specifications:
Original Gravity: 1.074 (18°P)

Final Gravity: 1.018 (4.6°P)

ABV: 7.4%

IBU: 38

SRM: 20

Directions:
Mash the malts with the mash hops at 154°F (68°C) for 30 minutes. Raise to 170°F (77°C) and hold for 15 minutes. Sparge at 170°F (77°C) for 45 minutes. Collect 6.5 gallons (24.5 L) of wort.

Heat to boiling and boil the wort 60 minutes, adding hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Adjust original gravity post-boil with reverse osmosis water as required.

Chill the wort to approximately 68˚F (20˚C). Pitch yeast, and ferment between 60 ˚F and 68˚F (15.5–20˚C) until complete. Prime and bottle condition, or serve from keg if naturally conditioned during aging.

EXTRACT VERSION

7.5 lb. (3.4 kg) Briess Golden Light Liquid Malt Extract

Steep the dextrin malt, crystal malt, chocolate malt, and mash hops in a grain bag at 154°F (68°C) for 30 minutes in 1.5 gallons (5.7 liters) water. Remove the grains and mash hops and fully dissolve the malt extracts in the hot wort. Adjust kettle volume to 6.5 gallons (25 liters) with reverse osmosis water. Proceed with the boil and follow the remaining recipe as above.
