I just started my first mead: (5 gal.)
-15 lbs. california orange blossom honey
-lalvin 71B-1122 Narbonne Yeast (fast fert, 14%, sweet wines, fast maturation)
-nutrients, etc.
But I want to add a fruit at secondary (allow fert to finish in primary, stop, rack onto fruit). However, I am debating this since the orange blossom mead is supposed to make a good show mead as is. I'm looking for advice on what fruits would go well with this particular honey. Any suggestions? I was thinking fresh blackberries or strawberries.
Thanks
