Hey everyone,
I have a little experiment in mind and would love to get some second opinions.
I just made up a 4 gallon batch of straight mead, just honey, water, nutrient and yeast, OG 1.070. I plan on splitting it into 4 one gallons after primary is done. I know what I'm going to do with two of them, kind of. I want to add one orange to each, just juice and zest as well as 1 split vanilla bean to each. The difference between those two will be Madagascar bourbon vs. Tahitian vanilla beans to see what the difference is. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the other two.
I'm thinking I might want to play with the difference between just juice and juice/zest, or maybe juice/zest vs. juice/whole peel. I think i'd like to stay with the orange/vanilla theme. Does anyone else have any suggestions, either for the dreamsicle batches or for the other two experiments, or does anyone else have anything they would like see? Thanks for the feedback.
