• 3 lbs Honey

• 5 lbs of Blueberry Wine base Concentrate (or 5 lbs of muddled fresh blueberries or blueberry puree)

• Top off with water to get desired volume and ABV. I usually do around 5 gallons and get around 15% abv.

• 2 packets of QA23 yeast

• (Optional) 1 tablespoon vanilla

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s get started with the preparation!

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water. This will help to remove any dirt or residues.

2. Combine Honey and Maple Syrup: In a large pot, add the honey and maple syrup along with about half a gallon of water.

3. Add Blueberries: Once your honey and syrup mixture is ready, add the fresh blueberries to the pot. Let them simmer for about 15 minutes to infuse the flavors.

4. Add Yeast: Add yeast nutrient before pitching yeast. Add your QA23 yeast. Rehydrate with GoFerm.

5. Fermentation: Pour the mixture into a sanitized fermentation vessel and seal it with an airlock. Rack after one week, then second racking when the bubbling decreases significantly.

6. Potassium Metabisulfite: Add potassium metabisulfite to stop and prevent fermentation.

7. Degassing: Stir multiple times to degas your mead.

8. Clarifiers: Add Bentonite and sparkolloid. Wait one week and then rack. Wait another week and do final racking.

9. Stabilize: Further protection from refermenting and increase shelf-life.

10. Bottling: Once fermentation is complete, you can bottle the mead. Make sure the bottles are clean and sanitized before transferring the mead. Seal them tightly.

11. Age and Enjoy: Store your bottles in a cool, dark place. Ideally, let your blueberry pancakes mead age for at least 3 months for the best flavor profile.

There you have it! Your blueberry pancakes mead is ready to be enjoyed. Share it with friends or keep it all to yourself – we won’t judge! The combination of maple syrup, honey, and blueberries is like a bite of dreamy pancakes in liquid form. Cheers!
