We’ve always used Nelson Sauvin to dry hop ciders because it’s so ridiculously good, so I got to thinking, “Why not dry hop a mead with Galaxy?”. It’s crazy how much the citrus character from this hop plays with the citrus character in Orange Blossom Honey. They play off of eachother in a lighter mead style and it turns it into an absolute citrus bomb of a mead. If you haven’t made this yet in your mead experimentations, I highly recommend it! It’s a good baseline for dry hopping other meads!
