Sanitize gear, avoid powders, and taste daily. *Vanilla bean* Bag-in-mead: Split lengthwise, scrape seeds; pod + seeds in bag. 1–2 beans/gal, 3–7 days. Tincture: Split/scrape; chop pod; cover with vodka or diluted Everclear 3–7 days; dose 0.5–2 mL/gal, rest 24h, repeat. *Cinnamon (sticks)* Bag: Whole or snapped once (don’t crush). 1–2 sticks/gal, 2–7 days. Tincture: Break into pieces; 3–7 days; dose 0.25–1.5 mL/gal. *Clove* Bag: Whole only. 1–3 buds/gal, 1–3 days. Tincture: Lightly crack; 1–3 days; micro-dose 0.1–0.5 mL/gal (very potent). *Allspice berries* Bag: Lightly crack. 2–6 berries/gal, 2–6 days. Tincture: Coarsely cracked; 3–7 days; 0.25–1 mL/gal. *Cardamom* Bag: Crack pods to expose seeds. 2–5 pods/gal, 2–5 days. Tincture: Shell pods, coarsely crush seeds; 3–5 days; 0.2–0.8 mL/gal. *Star anise* Bag: 1–2 points (not whole stars)/gal, 1–4 days. Tincture: Break points; 2–5 days; 0.1–0.6 mL/gal. *Peppercorns (black/pink/green)* Bag: Lightly cracked. 6–15/gal, 1–4 days. Tincture: Coarsely cracked; 2–5 days; 0.2–0.8 mL/gal. *Ginger (fresh)* Bag: Peel; slice into coins. 10–20 g/gal, 2–6 days. Tincture: Fine-slice or mince; 2–5 days; 0.5–2 mL/gal. *Ginger (dried)* Bag: Thin slices/chips. 4–10 g/gal, 1–4 days. Tincture: Coarse chop; 2–5 days; 0.2–1 mL/gal. *Nutmeg* Bag: Skip (prone to haze/harshness). Tincture: Coarsely grate; 1–3 days; micro-dose 0.05–0.3 mL/gal. *Coriander seed* Bag: Lightly crushed. 1–3 g/gal, 2–5 days. Tincture: Coarsely crushed; 2–5 days; 0.2–0.8 mL/gal. *Orange peel (sweet/bitter, dried)* Bag: Strips, no pith. 2–6 g/gal, 2–6 days. Tincture: Chop; 3–7 days; 0.3–1.5 mL/gal. *Cacao nibs* Bag: Lightly crushed. 10–30 g/gal, 4–14 days. Tincture: Coarsely crush; 5–10 days; 0.5–3 mL/gal. *Cinnamon note (Cassia vs Ceylon):* Cassia = stronger, woodier; Ceylon = softer, more floral—adjust low end first. *Rules of thumb* In-bag: intact/lightly cracked = cleaner, slower, easier to control. Tincture: chopped/coarse = fast, precise dosing—filter first. Start low, taste daily, and stop the moment it’s right—bitterness is hard to undo. _________________ ✅ Subscribe for More Mead-Making Tips & Tricks!
