So I was walking through Walmart tonight and I soon realized that Easter is almost upon us, and also the time for my yearly self-treat: The Cadbury Creme Egg. So through my hazed sugar frenzy, I thought, why not make a Cadbury Creme Egg Mead? There were three different Eggs to choose from as well, original, caramel and chocolate. Was thinking about a trial batch this year of the original and see how it goes a year from now. Now here is where I would like some help; how many eggs per gallon should be melted and used? I was thinking something like this:
3# Local Orange-Blossom
staggered nutrients
15 Cadbury Creme Eggs (Primary)
White Labs Liquid Sweet Mead Yeast
Water to 1 Gallon
1 tsp Acid Blend
10 Cadbury Creme Eggs (Secondary post fermentation)
~1# Local Orange-Blossom (to taste)
I got some inspiration and help from this thread,

Does this sound appealing to anyone, and would you make any changes to the recipe? I don't plan on starting this for another month (waiting for tax returns, planning a couple of meads) or so, but will stock up on the eggs ahead of time.
Thoughts?
