I’m considering making a 1 gallon batch of orange sage mead. I’ve never tried this combo before but something tells me I should try.
Thinking I’ll use orange blossom honey to about 12-14%. I’ll also use the zest of one or two oranges and add fresh sage leaves in primary or secondary.
Since Ive never done this before, I’ll add 5 or 6 fresh sage leaves as well as prepare a tincture for adjustment at bottling time. I’ll taste along the way to see how much backsweetening I’ll want.
If anyone has tried this combo before, please feel free to make suggestions.
I’ll post updates to this thread.
