Hi I am trying to make my first batch of mead and was looking to do this recipe: 1 gallon of Spring Water
Yeast: Fleishcmanns (1 packet)
25 Raisins
1 Cinnamon stick
1 whole orange, sliced and peels included
1 pinch of allspice
1 pinch of nutmeg
3 1/2 pounds of clover honey
1 whole clove
Problem is the kind of honey I have is in a pint jar (believe about 1 and a half pounds). The honey is Dark Alfalfa honey (it is dark like maple syrup) and I cannot find anymore of it since I bought it from a local farmer from a faire and have no way of getting more from him. But I was looking at the honey at the store I worked at (it is a mostly organic store) and they had orange blossom honey for sale and was thinking about mixing the two honeys. Is this a good idea?
