Our club has aquired a tequlla barrel and will be making a Mojito Mead.  Could 
use some help on recipe. 

for 5 gal 

18# Wildflower honey 
71b-1122 yeast 
SNA nutrients 
ferment 1 month 
zest & juice of 4 limes, 2 oz dried mint in secondary 

Here's where I need some help.  Add lime zest & lime juice in secondary, or 
primary?  Transfer from primary to barrel and add the lime & mint for 
conditioning? 

We will have a number of novice mead makers on this project, and I am hesitant 
to add the lime in primary in case the PH goes out of line. 

Comments please. 

Thanks,
