Just wanted to get everyone's opinion who has made mead before - do you think I would get a better result from using apple juice for apple spiced mead or using water + honey and then adding chopped up apple to the hot water/honey and leaving the fruit in it until I bottle it? I haven't made apple mead before and I'm torn as what to do for my first batch. It's hard to get that much fresh apple juice here where I live. Would frozen concentrate work for this? I see it made both ways so I was curious about flavours and thoughts from you mead makers out there. I've only made beer and wine before and want this to be worthy of all this honey
