I would like to do a blueberry melomel with some orange and vanilla. I'm thinking about using this as a recipe, any tips/suggestions/adjustments would be appreciated!! 5gal
10-12 lbs honey, depending on OG
10lbs blueberries in primary
5lbs blueberries in 2nd
Pectic enzyme
SNA
1gal OJ in primary
Zest of a few (any suggestions on how many?) oranges in 2nd
5 vanilla beans in 2nd (I want subtle hints of vanilla & citrus/orange)
Should I oak it? I may split it into two three gals and only oak one for comparison. Any thoughts on using orange juice and zest? Does anyone have any experience with this or should I try lemon? More or less vanilla?
Thank you in advance!
