Wait, why would you bring the temp back up to 170 after you add the lemonade cans, if you are just going to bring it down again? Do you even really need to heat it at all other than to just dissolve the sugar?

Dissolve and pasteurize, I assume. Worked for me, I could only get mine down to 1.006, but it tastes great.

For those of you having issues clearing it, I used gelatin and after 3 days it cleared very nicely. It's in the kegerator now.

is this 5 gal batch? Seems low on honey for 1.087 SG but there is 2 lbs of sugar as well in recipe which I never used in mead. Would like to do 3 gal batch
Paraordnance, I'm fairly sure the original recipe was for a five gallon batch...at least I hope so since I halved everything to make a 2.5 gallon batch tonite:
3.5# Wildflower honey
1.5# Clover honey
2 12 oz cans of frozen lemonade concentrate
2.5 tsp yeast nutrient (rate according to the label - 1 tsp/gal)
OG was 1.085 so I think I'm good on the math. Initial impression is fairly strong on the honey nose and flavor, but the lemonade is definitely lurking in the background. I thought of adding a third can of concentrate, but in the end just went with the recipe above. If needed, I'll add more lemonade on the next batch.
Just got the FG I was looking for- 1.000. It is tasty. A bit drier than I thought it would be, but very well balanced overall. Definitely does not taste like 11% ABV. Anybody carb'd this? Wondering if it would give it more body...
