Fermentation Through Bottling Your Passionfruit Mead Recipe

Make sure your primary has about a gallon of water in it otherwise fill it now.

Just be careful that your carboy is around a third empty leaving space for frothing and foaming.

Put on airlock, and let it ferment. Rack the mead off the fruit to your secondary carboy after 6-7 days when the frothing has slowed down.

Strain out the pedals using a cheesecloth or colander.

When you use a cheesecloth it helps to wet it first.

Secondary Fermentation
Step 3

Add 1 cup of passion fruit pulp together with half a vanilla seed.

After a month in secondary I added about 3 grams of oak chips.

Let ferment after you add the oak chips an additional 4-5 months in the secondary then bottle.

Sterilize and then bottle and cap again siphon slowly so that that sediments don’t get mixed in.

Set aside and let age.

Congratulations, You Have Completed Making this Awesome Passionfruit Mead!

You now need a bottle and a label which are cool enough to compliment your hard work. Honestly, if you put it into a cheap bottle, people will make fun of you. BUT, if it looks good, people will rave about it!
