Not a bad tasting beer! The maltodextrin produces a very lovely foamy head. The hops combination produces a very distinctive grapefruit flavor.

Notes: This recipe calls for a total of 3 lbs of fresh blueberries. Wash them thoroughly beforehand.

While the wort is boiling, put the blueberries in a large pot with some water and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, cover and cook until the blueberries have broken down into a syrup. Let it cool and then add to the primary fermenter using a funnel before pitching the yeast. Make sure to use a blow-off tube, as the fermentation can be extremely vigorous.

Leave here for 2 weeks, then keg as normal.

Notes: OG 1.151
3.9 gallons cider (75%)
1.29 gallons honey (25%)

3 packages Lavlin 71B yeast - White wine yeast. Ferment at 62. Allow up to a 4 degree gain in temp during primary fermentation. Don't go too hot or you'll get fusel alcohols.

I'm using wildflower honey because it's what I have available. Hopefully the spices and apples will cover the muddled honey. I tasted the honey before buying. I liked the honey, but I can’t recall tasting a honey I didn’t like.

Process:

Warm honey to lukewarm temp so it's easier to pour. Add 1.5 gallons of must to carboy. Use 2 gallons of must to dissolve honey. Pour mixture into carboy. Rinse containers with remaining 0.5 gallon of must. Add 6 crushed campden tablets to must. Wait 24-48 hours to aerate must and pitch yeast. After a few hours, check gravity. It takes a few hours for fruit gravity to stabilize.

Pitching process:
It is important to follow these steps in order. Mix together 1/2 cup warm water with GoFerm addition at 104 F (lukewarm). Slowly mix in yeast. Then slowly add must to mixture until temp is within 10 F of must. Aerate must with pure O2. Use a slightly longer aeration duration due to the higher gravity and lower solubility of O2 into the must. Pitch GoFerm/yeast/must/water mixture. Pitch pectic enzyme. Aerate again at 12 hours with pure o2

Yeast nutrient process: Stagger yeast nutrients every 24 hours for the first 3 days and at day 7. Use 4 grams nutrient for each addition. May want to rehydrate nutrients before adding to the must. Otherwise it will create a nucleation point and the co2 could cause foam to spill.

PH: monitor the pH daily and add a tsp. of potassium bicarbonate (more if needed) if the pH drops below 3.5.

De-gas process: degas twice a day during primary fermentation (4 - 5 days). Use a wine whip or something similar.

Secondary process: Rack to secondary at 3 weeks. Monitor gravity periodically. When gravity has reached terminal, add spices(See "Spice process".) Wait until desired flavor has been achieved then rack again. Add super kleer, wait for mead to clear up then add potassium metabisulfite for it's antioxidant properties.

Spice process: Add spices after racking to secondary. High quality cinnamon and vanilla is super important. Michael Fairbrother recommends Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans and Vietnamese (saigon) cinnamon. This is real cinnamon. Michael doesn't give amounts so I'm starting light. Start with 1 bean and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, add more to taste.

Resources Used:
Moonlight Meadery episode on the Beersmith podcast as inspiration for this mead. Michael covers the honey/cider ratio along with Kurt's Apple pie ingredients and the processes he uses to create mead. http://beersmith.com/blog/2012/07/26/moonlight-meadery-with-michael-fairbrother-beersmith-podcast-43/

Notes: 1600 ml. starter at 1.04

Ferment at 58 to 60 degrees with
Wyeast 2565,62 to 64 degrees with WLP 029
or 65 to 67 degrees with US-05

attenuation better than expected
finished at 1.011 about 5.3 ABV

carbonate 3 weeks at 68-70 degrees
cold condition 1 week in fridge
frothy head,nice lacing

tasty summer beer,easy drinking.
A great beer for the female in your life.

I`ve made this brew 7 times now,and it is a mainstay for my woman.I`ve used US-05
WLP 029 and WYEAST 2565 all with great
results.Used Williamette in place of
saaz and prefer it.Last batch came out
at 6.0 ABV with a modification to my fly sparge setup.Grain bill holds at 11 lbs.

Last batch was with WLP 029,I think Wyeast 2565 was the best of the 3 yeast types that I have used. (just me and swmbo`s thoughts).

Made batch #8 with US-05 on 4-19-13
used 4 Madagascar vanilla beans soaked
in vodka for a week and added to secondary
It added a bit more vanilla flavor.Nice addition for added flavor.Will make this
a regular step in future batches,recipe
has not changed but 2565 rules the brew.

I made batch #9 on 9-22-13.Used original recipe with wyeast 2565, by far the best.
Bottled on 11-1-2013.The only tweak was
adding 12 oz clover honey at flameout.The
Vanilla beans in secondary are the bomb.
Recipe will not change from here on out.
This batch started at 1.057 and finished at 1.01 - 5.51 ABV.It is exactly where I Want it. SWMBO and my friends love it.I like it alot too but I am more of a stout
porter guy.I hope you like it and have good luck with it if you try it. -enjoy-

12-8-2013 Vanilla flavor has mellowed
nicely,lacing last`s till the end of the glass.Very pleased with this batch.

Batch #10 1-23-2015 recipe has not changed
will be bottling in about a week or so.
This brew is our house brew all year,it`s
one for the ladies.Will be ready for St.
Paddy`s day.

batch #10 is long gone.Finally retired and will be moving to Florida in 2 weeks.I will update next batch when I brew in in the heat for the first time,Goodbye Chicago.I hope you enjoy the recipe.-Will be back to brewing soon.

-Cheers-

"Homebrewing is a convenient solution to the challenges of keeping beer consumption safe during breastfeeding. Kegging critically offers the option to drink less than a full glass without dying a little on the inside. The alcohol percentage is also entirely within the control of the homebrewer, and furthermore, certain ingredients might actually increase supply and make nursing easier.

Of the ingredients cited as potentially beneficial, some advocated dark or roasted grains, while there was definite support for oatmeal and especially hops. This lead to an obvious style choice: Oatmeal Stout. The only other considerations were keeping the alcohol percentage low and slightly boosting the hop profile.

This beer turned out quite well; smooth and very roasty with some notes of dark fruit, almost like a very dark brown as opposed to a stout. The hop character was present, and a more assertive profile would not have been offensive."
