Thanks for posting that.

Honey Mead. This is actually called: Cyser: Mead with apples juice added. Sounds good!

Yes! It is a Cyser!

But most people have never heard of the term, but that's OK too.

i'm really excited about doing up a mead, but i'll probably boil the wort a few minutes first. i know that honey itself is not a great fermentable and many people use some yeast nutrients in it. with the added apple juice however i think that would be enough sweets for the yeast to feast on.

I don't mind adding extra steps. Boiling the honey and straining off the foam that rises to the top is said to lessen the mead hangover.
