I'm working on my first mead (Apple) and reached a point where it's best to ask. Here's what I've got:

5 Gal.

15 lbs Honey (3 lbs per Gal) Wildflower
3 Gal Spring water
6 broken up cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons yeast nutrient
1 teaspoon yeast energizer
10 Cans of frozen apple juice (Seneca brand)

Starting SG: 1.15

I've just transferred from my plastic ferm. pail into a glass carboy. The smell is strong cider/Alc and at this point tastes somewhat that way.

My SG at transfer was 1.06

To mellow it out while aging, should I add more Apple juice or Honey?
Is there anything else I should consider adding at this point?
I didn't note much, if any, cinnamon taste either.

Thanks
Fred
 
I don't claim to be an expert, but right now, the only I would thing to add is "time". Lots and lots of time. (Patience will also help.)
 
I's say to play the waiting game. Only add something if there is something missing in the flavor. But to get it smooth, time is best.
