Notes

**recipe transcribed from original brewing notebook to the best of my ability Recipe is largely “Barkshack Ginger Mead” from Papazian’s book pp. 347-8. -“one large can” of Oregon Raspberry puree was added to the primary fermenter, I believe. -“light honey” was used -OG = 1.08 -pitched yeast at 74F -10/18 OG = 1.02 & racked to secondary / glass carboy. Skimmed off much of the fruit puree before transferring -10/21 OG = 0.01 -11/10 OG = 0.998 -11/23 OG = 0.997; bottled with 3/4c of corn sugar Note: This was still drinking well as of the last bottle in 2019 (17 years later)!
