==Racking==
==Bottling==
Add potassium sorbate at the racking to stop fermentation. We are racking to get rid of hop and fruit residue and to give the yeast time to settle out of the mead.
* Add another pound of honey
* Pasteurized to 138F
* Transferred to sterilized growlers. Not carbonated.

==Tasting Notes==
Tastes middling between beer, wine, and mead. It's got a vague cidery flavor. A little sweet. Most people very much enjoy it. The hops stand out more than the Raspberry does.
