I'm about to put down a mead and have searched the site for info. I have found posts and recipes that you have made so figure you might be the best person to ask.
In 2 of your recipes, they call for 6lb of peaches in one and 3.2 kg of raspberries or peaches in the other. I don't have either but have an abundance of blackberries and am planning on using 3 kg of them along with honey etc.
My question, you recomend using 1.5 oz of Cascade hops for bittering. Given that blackberries are more tart than peaches, would the bittering hops still be needed?
Cheers
