Yes, just scale it up by a factor of 5.Originally posted by Trogolodyte View Post
Plus, normally, a yeast sachet would be enough for up to 5 gallons, but as it's using bread yeast, that often doesn't come in sachets, just make it 2 teaspoons of yeast (I used Allinsons last time as the US brand isn't available) and it should work out fine.
Don't get too fussed about the fruit being whole oranges and any possible pith bitterness, because I suspect, very much, that because it will finish sweet, that it's used to counteract the sweetness a bit, giving a sort of "orange marmalade" hint to it.
The only thing that I do urge you to do, is to follow the recipe religiously, as that way, it comes out good. Don't sub any of the ingredients (except the yeast, as Fleischmanns isn't available here of course). Plus that way, it's eminently, repeatable.
It may be that it's good straight out of the fermenter, it sometimes is, but if you can age it, it's brilliant IMO.
Oh and the darker and more stronger tasting the honey, the better.....
