I just ordered a gallon of orange blossom honey from Miller's in CA.
Here's my plan (3 gallon batch):
9 lbs honey
7 lbs cherries
Lavlin 71B-1122 yeast
hightest's SNA
water to ~ 3 gallons
After a month or so, I'll rack to secondary on another 7lbs cherries. In the meantime, I'll have made a batch of show mead using the same orange blossom honey and 71B-1122.
After another month or so (maybe longer for secondary), I'll rack to tertiary and top off with the show mead; bulk age, rack as neccessary; bottle when crystal clear and age for a long time.
What do you all think?
