So I am wondering how much flavor the honey contributes to the final mead product. Also, how much flavor do additional ingredients, such as fruits, fruit juices, or herbs, contribute to the flavor? In addition, I read in another topic that 1 lb honey ~ 1% alcohol, do lbs of fruit follow roughly the same principle? :icon_scratch:
I am curious because in a day or two I am going to start a 5 gal. batch (my first one ever :toothy10 using 10 lbs blueberry honey, 2 lbs blueberries.
I would also like to know, as a matter of curiosity, can the honey be substituted with stuff like a flavored syrup, like butterscotch for example.
