Is it normal that I'm so excited about this that I'm checking this thread every 20 minutes? Again with the OCD...and enthusiasm of a 12 year old. I just get excited about things.

I would prefer to use the same yeast as well.

Well, I think we should agree on a recommended yeast, but of course we won't force anyone to use that specific one.

The vanilla sounds good, but just to get some more ideas out there, we could try a citrus-y one. My experience concerning mead entails reading a lot of recipes, so hopefully someone more experienced can critique this:

1lb clover
1.5lb orange blossom
0.1 oz orange zest
Top up to 1 gallon
Champagne yeast

Pasteur champagne yeast sounds good to me. I guess we'll all be using different local honey anyway, so that should get some really interesting different results.

I think BigKahuna's recipe sounds great, leaves it nice and simple, and also open for extra ingredients at secondary if anyone chooses.

This should be a great way to start off my first mead brewing!

I am concerned about everyone being able to get quality citrus. However; I'd deffinately be up for a citrus 4th of July Mead.

I'm in on this one too.
If we are going to do a citrus, why not Malkore's Not So Ancient Orange? It has cinnamon and cloves in it too just to keep it interesting. We could change the yeast from sweat mead to the champagne yeast easy enough.

I'm also good with the Vanilla. Quick, someone call the ball and decide!

My preference is vanilla; but if I get outvoted I could be down with a citrus.
