I have a pumkin mead ( 5 gal ) just finishing primary now and I am planning to add clove, cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. I did a 2 gal batch last year with primary in the pumkin, it turned out tasty but not bold enough flavor wise. It didn't have enough pumkin or spice( 2 cinnamon sticks and 3 cloves ). This batch I cut and baked the medium pumkin and added 2 purple sweet potatoes. The color is a really cool orange. The OG was 1.086 before I added the pumkin. I will up the clove and cinnamon abit . Now for the question .I finally found whole allspice and nutmeg, (wasn't easy) and iam not sure how much I should use. If anyone has any insight or experience with these whole spices I would love to hear from you.
Thanks
