1 container Trader Joes Macintosh Apple Juice
~2.5 lbs Gunter's Orange Blossom Honey
Wyeast Forbidden Fruit yeast
Spring water to ~1.1 OG
1 stick cinnamon
Ferment according to BOMM protocol, going by time, not SG
EDIT 11/02/16: Clarification: the stick of cinnamon is for the primary fermentation. The stick in secondary is the spice stick, a separate addition.
EDIT 11/02/16: Primary can last the week or so called for in the BOMM protocol. I had a meeting out of state, so it ended up being about a month. Another attempt will determine the effect this has.
Rack to secondary
Add 1 stick cinnamon and 2-3 whole cloves
Age~2-3 months (up to six, depending on preference)
Rack to bottles
Enjoy 1-6 times a year
Note: my friends enjoy it more than a local commercial apple pie mead. I must be doing something right.
Thanks to Bray for BOMM and Forbidden Fruit experiments.
