Just for giggles, I like to throw my recipes up for posterity and critiquing.
Here's what I came up with for a cyser.

6 qt. Mott's 100% apple juice. Contains a little ascorbic acid.
2-1/2 lbs wildflower honey.
1 cup brown sugar.
1 tsp. pectic enzyme.
1/2 tsp acid blend.
1 tsp. yeast nutrient.
1 tsp. yeast energizer
1 Campden tab.
71B yeast.
Starting SG 1.111

Sound good? Anything missing?

Looks like you are good to go. If it ferments dry, you are going to have some high abv. wine. It mite not go dry and you mite wind up with residual sugar, then it will wind up sweet. It might be a slow ferment also. Don't get in too big a hurry with it. Guess you will find out. Good luck with it, Arne.
 
I hope it has some residual sweetness. SG of 1.00 should be sweet enough and still be at 14.6%
The more experienced cyser makers indicate that a slow ferment is better with this style of wine, so it's in a closed primary under airlock. It has been bubbling like crazy since I pitched the starter.
