I have heard of using the candies before. The nice thing is how easily they dissolve. Try something with the candies...I know it seems like cheating, but...

here's my idea: go to the candy store with the scoops and get a pound of them. dissolve them in a gallon of boiling water and add them gradually to a test...
I used cinnamon oil in a restaurant year ago. It's VERY strong, we used one capful per 5 gallon bucket of honey-cinnamon syrup. rumored to be leathal in...
If it is the concrated oil that comes in a 1 quart bottle (ok, i know this is a vague description), start with one capful per 5 gallons. _____ From:...
I used candies in a peppermint cordial once upon a time. Taste was just fine, but it looked like pepto bismol--it was pink. Rather unappealing to look at. I've...
I haven't made a cinnamon mead but I have been very successful with a cordial recipe from the book "Cordials from your Kitchen". You may be able to modify...
M'lady Petronella, There is our recipe! Only kidding, we made refinements to the recipe and found that it works better without the pepper in it. We add...

hey, I haven't made any mead in a while and I forgot, if I'm going by proportions, is a normal sweet mead 3:1 water:honey, and is a dry mead 4:1, water:honey ...
I think 3:1 might be overly sweet. I normally do 4:1 and control sweetness by using different strains of yeast. Dry = Champagne yeast and sweet = sweet mead...
I try not to go by honey:water proportions, but rather by weight of honey/gallon. For a sweet mead I tend toward 3.5 lbs/gallon or greater and a dryer mead...
I've found that often it isn't how much of a honey/water ratio (I use 3-5 lbs. of honey per gallon), but rather the type of yeast. I've made several batches of...
the reason why I'm asking about proportions is because I have this odd leftover amount from when I bought a 60 pound bucket. If the proportion is 4:1, then I...

Brillant suggestions, Isabel. I've been pondering it all week, and I think those would be very helpful to first-time brewers. The short mead recipe and...
