Notes: First batch was 5.25 gal of 1.112 (18 lbs of my honey added)
- Added Nardone yeast (2 packs, 3 in future) not cooled it down to room temperature after following yeast package. Overly sluggish start, took almost 5 days. Fermentation was sluggish. Fermentation had no airlock activity after 3 weeks. Lots of shaking to degass --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. Very sweet when sampled during first rack, but quite delightful.
Second batch was 4.5 gal of 1.096 (11 lbs added)
- Added half of the yeast (2 packs total) directly to the fermentor and half according to package instructions. Proper start, fermentation activity slowed after 2 weeks. Lots of shaking to degas --> next time I will use the degassing tool that I have. The first rack to secondaries tasted the best it ever had.
Secondaries
5.25 gal Sacred blue (8 lbs blueberries, 1 lb of mulberries) + 1.5 vanilla beans in tertiary (1 week) then add one cinnamon stick for another week (test it often)
2.5 gal of strawberry mead (3 lbs of strawberries and a handful of mulberries for colour) + tequila chips (1 week or so, test it often)
1 gal of lavender mead (2.2g of 3 week air-dried homegrown lavender, 6 days )
1 gal of chamomile mead (1 oz of chamomile from one SFB package, 6 days)
Any "left over" mead will become straight mead in a bottle.
- ZERO mead leftover. Perfect volumes.

other advice:
- I was using Lalvin EC - 1118 yeast is I was shooting for about 18% alcohol, but for most dark berry recipes I'd recommend Lalvin 71B-1122 vice D47. D47 is perfect for traditional Meads, 71B-1122 is made to bring out dark berry flavors. Just my opinion.

Notes: 1) add 1 gallon of spring water to sanitized carboy with 5lb of wildflower honey
2) Pitch 6.66g of K1-V1116 in 250 ml of 104º water with 12.5g of Go-Ferm PE, allow to cool to within 10º of must temp before pitching (aprx 45 mintues)
SG should be near 1.125
3) 24 hours post-pitch DEGAS before adding 2.5g Fermaid O
4) 48 hours post-pitch DEGAS before adding 2.5g fermaid O & take SG reading, if it's cleared 1.080, add 5lb of honey & 1 liter of water, if it has not hit 1/3 sugar break, delay honey addition 24 hours
SG should again be near 1.125 after honey & water addition
5) 72 hours post-pitch DEGAS before 3g Fermaid K mixed with 5g of DAP
6) 96 hours post-pitch DEGAS before 3g Fermaid K mixed with 5g of DAP
7) 120 hours post-pitch take SG reading, if it's cleared 1.080, add 2lb of honey & 1 liter of water, if it has not hit 1/3 sugar break, delay honey addition 24 hours
SG should be near 1.104 after adding the 2lb of honey & 1L water
8) The long haul:
at this point your 3 gallon carboy should be at capacity, continue to take SG readings every 48 hours until you hit your desired finishing sweetness & then stabilize
9) stabilization: Bottle the mead & add the bottles to 150ºF water for 30 minutes, then cool & rest
Congrats, you've made a funky, 18% abv mead |

Notes: Don't add sugar as specified - this is listed as a substitute for pomegranate molasses.
According to the below link the beer should have less hops as the pomegranate molasses will contribute sourness.
http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2515&start=8
250ml of Pomegranate molasses added in primary fermentation after 4 days.
Bottle 14 days after boil.
Bottle condition for 14 days.
