Smurfe,
I remember reviewing your kumquat batch. Thanks for the advice. My oranges never did sink, but the mead cleared under the oranges and I racked it off. I also filtered it later after a couple of rackings.
Rule G,
What would you recommend in way of spices with a lemon/lime mead? I don't think the cloves would be very good with this combo, and I really don't want to use the Cinnamon either, but I'm afraid if I go too far away from the original recipe, the mead will not be very drinkable at a young age. As I understand it, the spices mask most of the youthfulness of the mead to make it drinkable early. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
