Well, that's to bad. I might have waited until the morning before I pitched it. On the plus side, it was only a one gallon batch. After primatpry fermentation is complete, you may want to rack into another carboy with another 1 to 2 pounds of blueberries. Good luck.

Thrown away? Meads are very often salvageable, especially after extensive aging. I wouldn't throw a batch away, even when I'm "sure" it's bad. But then again I have many carboys to spare. Meads can often take long to start off, especially with no rehydration protocol. You could have also had a dud pack of yeast (uncommon but not impossible) and the must could have been perfectly fine. Oh well, just be more patient next time
