Hi guys,
My neighbor and I put together this recipe for a "sweet orange mead". I've got a few questions on it though before the purchase.
Recipe 5 gallons:
15lbs Orange Blossom Honey
2oz yeast nutrient
WL Sweet Mead Yeast wlp720
5oz Sweet Orange Peel
3oz Cinnamon sticks
Would the honey out-compete the yeast and carry over the "sweet" flavor we're looking for? Does 5oz of sweet orange peel, and 3oz of cinnamon sticks seem like enough to even bring flavor to the party?
I love the historical significance of this amazing beverage, and can't wait to create some myself. This would be our first attempt at it, so any suggestions to help make this seem better would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
