I am new here I have been brewing beer for about a year and I have had a great time doing it. I just started making ciders and I have a few bubbling away right now. I wanted to try a mead and I was thinking about Joes Ancient Orange. That recipe looks great for a new bee. My question for it is what if instead of water I used apple juice? Will that just lend a cider flavor to it or will it change the composition. I like sweet meads and I like that this is a recipe that a new bee can try after a few weeks and not have to wait for a year to have something nice. I don't want to use juice if it will make the mead drier.
Thanks
