Joe's Ancient Orange Mead (5 gallons)

I've been looking around at mead recipes and it seems that the "Orange Clove" mead that I'd been making is more conventionally called "Joe's Ancient Orange", after the guy who formulated the recipe (recipe for 1 gallon batch at HomeBrewTalk.com).

After the first 1 gallon batch, we were hooked on this stuff. My wife wanted to make a 5 gallon batch, so we scaled up, bought a 6 gallon carboy, and started it off. It's been in there about 2 months now.

At larger scales the previous timelines seem to fall apart, though. The fruit hasn't really started to fall at all and some clearing is happening, but there is still plenty of cloud. Looks like this will need at least another month and one or more rackings.
