I am placing an order online in the next few days for a bunch of honey and would like to order a bunch for several future batches, to cut down on shipping. This summer I want to make a 5 gallon batch, split that into 5 1 gallon jugs and add different fruits and make a few different melomels.
How important is honey choice for this? Obviously I dont want something too intense, like buckwheat, but I was thinking of using orange blossom. I love this honey (never made a mead with it yet tho) and was hoping that I could get a nice balance between the honey flavors and the fruit.
Is this a matter more of personal preference than anything?
