Notes

Cold brew hibiscus tea: 1/2 cup in 1/2-gal water overnight.

Cherry weight is for juiced cherries. Apple juice (2 gallons) is a new/neutral addition for 2024 and is to keep total fruit volume above 30% (a Polish standard for fruited meads).

Thaw frozen fruit, mash and drain all available juice & refrigerate. Macerate pulp with sugar & refrigerate, strain juice next day. Add water to pulp, heat to 150 degrees, or steam extract strain liquid. No pulp in this recipe.

Add starting chemicals, Aerate/stir the must before pitching yeast.

At 1.08 (Day 2-3): Add bentonite slurry with second nutrient addition.

At 1.05 (Day 4-5): fill airlocks, add a final addition of Fermaid O (if needed).

Primary for 2 weeks. This will ferment dry.

Rack onto Sorbate in secondary with spices/wood chips. Wait 2 days before adding wine conditioner (glycerin) and back sweeten to taste (1.02 works well for the sourness of the fruit). Age in secondary until clear (2-4 weeks). alternate: transfer to tertiary carboy with the sugar and glycerin addition for bulk aging

Transfer to botting bucket onto Campden & Ascorbic Acid - wait for chems to dissolve/integrate before drinking. 1-2 days.

Should taste like boozy cherry pie and be drinkable early.
