Figured I would try this out and was wondering what everyone else though. It's part cider, part mead, and part saison.
3.5 gallons apple cider
3# honey
2oz fresh ginger
7 cinnamon sticks
4tsp yeast nutrient
Belgium saison yeast wlp565
I mixed .5 gallons of the cider with the honey, ginger and cinnamon and then heated to 165-180 for 40 minutes.
Added the mixture to the other cider, aerated and pitched the yeast.
It has been fermenting for 2 days and it smells amazing. I can only hope it tastes just as good.
