What kind of options are there for making a cyser (or mead in general) more "complex"? My instinct is to look into blending 2 or more cysers from different apples, but what else? ML Fermentation, spices, a distinct honey (eg, something like a sourwood)? Dick gave me my best score, reminded me to come back to this list and pose the question - thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it.
