What I learned from my second batch of mead is the overflowing foam was a pain and I would like to control that. For my second batch, I would like to make a raspberry mead. I currently have 6 pounds of honey and 5 pounds of raspberries (I can get more). I purchased a 3 gallon Better Bottle and from what I read, I can only fill it up 2 gallons in order to stave off the foaming.
My questions are:
1) Is it alright to make 2 gallons of must in a 3 gallon fermenter?
2) Should I place the raspberries directly into the better bottle or should I wait until the primary fermentation is almost done?
3) Should I get more raspberries?
4) Can you think of anything that I should change?
I think those are the questions I have for now. Thanks!
