    Guys... Have done up a 25l batch however I am very concerned at the moment... there is black mould forming on top of the oranges. Is this normal?

    Im guessing as noone has responded in over a week that the answer to my question is no then... :/

    Honey Mead. Some may call it Ambrosia

    Also 1 to 2 cloves per 5 litres... but no more. It will overpower the flavor too much.
