Notes

I have found that stabilizing the mead after the primary and then adding the blueberry actually produces the best blueberry taste in this mead. You are able to preserve the sugars in the blueberries (because the yeast don't eat them) after it’s been stabilized.

Primary Fermentation Time: About 4 Weeks.

Time for blueberries to age on the mead: About 4 weeks.

Aging Time: Wait at least 2 more months before drinking this!

Recipe costs can be adjusted by changing the batch size. They won't be saved but will give you an idea of costs if your final yield was different.
