Not that it matters much, but for those of you who know more about style guidelines: When does a cider become a cyser? Does the addition of any amount of honey in a 5gal of cider make it a cyser; or is a cyser more like a traditional melomel that happens to use cider or apples?
 
It is my understanding that it becomes a cyser when the additional sugars come primarily from honey as opposed to corn sugar or some other sugars. I suspect however, that is an overly simplistic definition.
