I'm planning on making a sweet spiced mead, initially envisioned as a 'clone' of Fox Hill sweet spiced mead (was planning on naming it "Fox Hunter"). For a 1-gal batch I was thinking:
Primary:
4lb clover honey
yeast nutrient/energizer
1 stick cinnamon
1 clove
orange zest
Lavlin D-47 yeast
water to volume
Secondary:
1 stick cinnamon
1 clove
allspice
Any suggestions or potential problems on the recipe (mostly amount of spices)? The one I'm most unsure of is the allspice since I've never even cooked with it. Second, too much honey?
Thanks!
