Thanks Aaron

Actually I own such a machine, or to be true it might by my wifes, but that is not going to be problem. She likes mead as well.

The recipie called for frozen berries + slicing. So there seems to be different opinions. I'll melt some and see how much they are broken before I make my decision to slice or not.

Mead making is like beekeeping - three makers have three opinions of the right way. Somehow quite often they all come out finally with good product. ( but maybe some throw away more failed batches ... )

Remains me of the recent discussion in bee-l about the use of oxalic acid.  As my opinion both liquid and vapour work, the  difference is only in the amount of work.

Within few weeks I'll have my own opinion about blueberries + slicing.
