What size were the rasberry purees? my brew shop has different sizes and this sounds like a good one to try.

The cans were each 49oz and I used 2 of them, they left a great color smell and flavor. If you try it let me know how it turns out as this was my first Mead.
Cheers

I need to empty a container first, which will be soon. I think I will try a 1 gallon batch first. I like raspberry, but I like to do small quantities for 1st batches.
 
Racked this one again on 12/7/08 and I will be darned if it did not start fermentation again. I had back sweetened slightly with 3 lbs Wildflower honey but had racked once with that addition. So this was a little strange. The taste is much better now the heat is dying down and the flavor of the Raspberries is showing through. About 6 more months and maybe we can bottle this one.
