Are you gonna stabilize before adding the blackberries though? Because then I would rack onto stabilizers then rack again onto blackberries

I was planing on racking onto the puree. Not sure about stabilizers and I would want it to hang out a while then rack a 3rd time when I stabilize. I like bullets so my process would be:
1. After gravity levels out rack onto puree in secondary.
2. Let it hang out for a month or so
3. Rack again and stabilize

I was thinking about maybe racking onto blackberry puree again for the tertiary...but not sure. Thinking the 1.4kg would be enough for a 3gallon batch. Then back-sweeten to balance.

Side note, the whole racking onto stabilizers never occurred to me and I will be doing this when I prep my traditional this weekend, thanks!
 
Yah I think your on the money with that. See how much blackberry flavour the mead has before you plan ur second racking and can better judge if u wanna add more. Maybe u might even find that you'd like to add another fruit to compliment the blackberries and add another layer of complexity.
Np bro
