Since Keith provided me with honey for two batches of mead I decided to try another melomel. Hopefully the blackberry and raspberry will blend well.
When I opened the bucket for racking there was a thick "foam" on top. I have never seen this before. There was a lot of "gunk" in the bucket thus there wasn't that much extra liquid for later use.
The final result is a smooth, easy drinking mead as would be expected.
