Blackberry melomel... recipe search
Greetings all,
I was woundering if by chance any of you had a recipe for a blackberry melomel? I am going to attempt to make one in the next few weeks or so and was looking to see if by chance anyone has made one and had any luck with it?

Blackberry Melomel
15 lb. Blackberry Honey
15 lb. Blackberries
1 pkg. Wyeast Pastuer Red yeast
Procedure:
You will need a 7½ gallon carboy for this. Interesting note about malolactic fermentation: while it will help control overly acidified meads by converting harsh malic acid to softer lactic acid, it should not be used in meads which have a large concentration of citric acid - these cultures (leuconostoc oenus) will also convert citric acid to acetic acid >-O. The berries will have some citric acid, but I have not had any negative results from this - in fact the nose resulting from ML is really nice and earthy, like a French Burgundy.
Good luck,
Wild
