I don't have any vanilla bean or choc nibs. Any probs with me adding a bean and nib to the primary once the fermentation has started? I also plan to rack on to some sour cherries... Should be interesting
3.5lb orange blossom honey boiled for about an hour. Just went until I liked to color. Very very dark red. Love it.
Yeast: lalvin ec-1118
Yeast nutrient
OG: 1.151
It's HUGE! I'm afraid my yeast will kick out way before it gets close to drying out but I'm not sure.
Gonna pop a little chocolate and vanilla in the primary and like i said, rack on to cherries.
Question for experienced mead makers, is it best to add vanilla to primary?? Or just have the choc and vanilla in secondary along with the cherries?!
Here's a pic. It looks almost black but against the light it's a dark rust color.
