I'm contemplating an orange-flavored mead (just wildflower honey) and I'm thinking of something like: (5 gal)
18 lb honey
Wyeast Sweet Mead yeast
4 oz. Sweet Orange Peel (in secondary, about 1 month)
4 vanilla beans (in secondary)
I'm aiming for a dessert metheglin suitable for family gifting at Christmas.
Having never used bitter or sweet orange peel before, I'm wondering if this amount seems reasonable, and if they are best used in secondary, or in the boil.
Thanks
