i was just woundering if its ok to add spices to bottles just let it sit in there till opened? i seen in liquers they put hot peppers in there. would it be ok to do such things with wines and meads? and how long could i let it sit like that? here's a list of some items i am thinking of possibliltes let me know if any of these are no no's.
cin. sticks
cloves
hot peppers
vin. beans
ect.
also what about these? i figer there will be lots of sediment but other than that are they ok?
apples
oranges
lemons
limes
berrys
ect.
the main reason im wanting to do this is because i have 5 gallons of show mead and i wanted to try some different flavors and additions. i only have one carboy and its really a chore to wait 6 months to test somethin that might not taste all that great. and i cann't afford 5-10 1 gallonboys.
