I want to make sure the recipe I drew up will actually come out good, so please tell me what you think.


15 lbs. Orange Blossom Honey
One Gallon Water
Four Gallons Apple Cider
Nutrient and Energizer for 5 Gallons
Acid Blend for 5 Gallons
5lbs Apples (secondary)
2 lbs Oranges (secondary)
4/5 cinnamon sticks (secondary)
Pitched with Lavlin d-47

Thanks ya'll!
 
Dont forget that the honey takes up space, you will only want enough water to get to 5 gallons unless your in a 6.5 gallon carboy, in which case cool :)
 
With apples having a ph of 4.0 there abouts and oranges as low as 2.8 but probably closer to 3.5. I would not think the acid blend is necesary. But that is just my opinion. Also make sure to peal the oranges and only use the zest and fruit, no pith. Sounds great though, I would bet this will be a killer mead.
 
You don't need the acid blend, there's plenty of acid inthere from the apple juice & oranges.

EDIT: Just reread the recipe & I'm wondering why add a gallon of water? I'd leave out the apples & just use all juice instead of adding any water.
Regards, GF.
