The warranty on JAOM is void unless followed to a tee. I know what you're thinking... if the bread yeast is good, then the wine yeast will be better... no it won't. Follow all instructions and amounts exactly. It's not a recipe, it's a formula.

To start im new here, started my first mead a couple weeks ago and was wondering where i can find a JAOM recipe while i wait. thanks.
 
I want to comment on the 'cider smell'...

Many of my batches have had that scent when young. None of them have ever retained it through maturation, so I wouldn't worry about it.

I would recommend, just for the sake of making things easier, to let it sit on the lees for a month (counting from when you started, not from end of fermentation). A month shouldn't hurt anything, and may well save you a racking.
