Nice, I didn't wait on secondary. I added CO2, then whole leaf hops, then transferred the beer straight from primary onto the bed of hops in secondary. Ill try your method next time!
Thanks for the advice. In case anyone was wondering I took gravity reading today (1.012, started at 1.084), and tasted it (both now and after hoping in primary). After 5 days of dry hopping in primary it was good, but not quite what I was hoping. After a second round of dry hoping in...
Thanks for the recipe. This is one of my favorite meads. I live in florida and have wild hibiscus everywhere and orange season just started (so fresh orange blossom honey). Excited to try a small 1 gal version of this!

As another note, I move alot, and when Im traveling for a...
