My buddy found a recipe that he wants to do together, so I'll post it when I get it from him.60 pounds will get you 4-5 batches. I wouldn't worry about a sour flavor from the lemons. I've never made a lemon mel (but I'd like to) but I have made one from tangelos. It didn't have a very pronounced sourness. Could you post your lemon mel recipe in the Recipe forum? I'd love to see it.
The cherries aren't tart - but they were perfectly ripe, and are now in the freezer. I may buy some tart cherries to add to them.That cinnamon and vanilla metheglin sounds good!What you do other than that will depend on what sort of fruit you have around. Cherries sound like a good option but tart cherries work best for that. If you run out of fruit, a metheglin with cinnamon & vanilla is really good. Also a dessert mead aged with wood is a good way to go.

Sadly, that part of the plan didn't work out. I'll be seeing by friend with the recipe this weekend, and I have honey laying around, maybe it's time to get off my duff and twist his arm and get it done.

Japh, where do you get your honey? Anything I've priced has been so expensive. Luckily I work with a guy that keeps bees. I bought a quart of some good stuff from him no too long ago. It will last me a long time, but have been toying with the idea of getting into mead and may be looking to buy enough for a batch.

Around here is is $35 plus per 12 lb gallon. Not cheap, but per bottle, still not too bad. Also, start making mead. Highly rewarding and if you are used to AG brewing you will do jumping jacks at how easy it is.

Do you ever get up around the Seattle area? There was a bulk packer out in Sultan I used to pick up 5gal buckets from for cheap (I want to say $70ish but its also been a few years), not sure if they still do over the counter type sales. It was just "clover" honey but I had no issues using it for cysers, melomels, methelgins, etc. I'd maybe focus more on a varietal honey for a stand alone mead though.
