Hello, I am brewing my first mead and I decided to use some dried fruits as additional sugar content. I've read about fruits being on the surface can cause mold to grow. How can I combat this if my fruits wont sink? Should I just gently shake the vessel few times a day without removing the airlock, or should I get a spoon and stir it? Or is cap management not a big deal and I can just let it be? I am worried about introducing oxygen, so I dont know which one would be better. What are risks?
