Strawberry mead

2 lbs of strawberry’s were mashed and boiled before being added to a coffee bag that was allowed to sit in the fermenter for 10 days

1.000SG

1.000SG

strawberry bag was removed from the fermenter and the brew was cold crashed before moving to a one gallon fermenter. the mead is very cloudy still and there was a large lease cake on the bottom of the fermenter before racking.

after sitting for 8 more days and cold crashing one more time for 24 hours the mead is still not perfectly clear but it has cleared up significantly and there is another large lease cake in the fermenter

mead was racked, bottled, and corked for long term storage and aging. final product is slightly hazy but overall very clear. there is a STRONG floral smell when bottling.
