A Marriage Of Honey & Limes

[uavwmn]

PWP, do you know if the lime mead goes straight in the 1 gallon jug or starts in the primary bucket????

does anyone ever use the JAO recipe but substitute lime for the oranges?
am thinking I must try this again - maybe a 1 gallon batch of each - naval orange - blood orange and lime. - - ->

Yes, I have. When I made these I made a lemon , Orange, and Lime. IMHO the Lime came out the best!

I would start in a bucket/fermenter myself. Give it some breathing room

WALDO et al:


Gonna start some mead on Sunday - - -


Here's what I'm gonna do - - -


Just picked up a gallon (13.5#)of Indian Paintbrush honey from our local beekeeper. This is from the California Indian Paintbrush flower which happens to thrive in our local mountains.

It is a light very tasty honey.


I am going to use the Joe's Ancient Orange Mead recipe only changing the citrus.


There will be a gallon of naval orange - a gallon of blood orange - and a gallon of lime mead. Problem will be keeping out of it for a year. I may add a little lime zest too!!


Waldo, do you add zest to all your meads? I know you have your own recipe but have you used JAO?


Wish me luck all - -

The Lime is the only one I have added the zest to rrawhide. I have made several JAO but did not figure they needed any zest since the whole orange is in there
