2\/2\/24 (Day 1)<\/strong>
\n1 Gallon batch
\n2.8 lbs Kroger Clover honey
\n1.5 lbs crushed Worthers candies
\n1 tsp Fermaid-O
\n1\/4 tsp wine tannin
\nLalvin QA23 yeast
\n1 gallon spring water from dollar tree<\/p>\n

Crushed the candies and added about 1\/2 gallon of the spring water to a pan.\u00a0 Added the crushed candies and made a “syrup” out of it.
\nAdded honey to carboy and a little more of the water from the gallon.\u00a0 Shook it vigorously for several minutes.\u00a0 Added the candy syrup, Fermaid-O and tannin.\u00a0 Mixture was still kind of warm.\u00a0 Pitched dry yeast at 110 degrees.\u00a0 It started fermenting very quickly.<\/p>\n

O.G. = 1.130<\/strong><\/p>\n

2\/3\/24 (Day 2)<\/strong>
\n1\/2 tsp DAP<\/p>\n

2\/4\/24 (Day 3)<\/strong>
\n1\/2 tsp DAP<\/p>\n

2\/5\/24 (Day 4)<\/strong>
\n1\/2 tsp DAP<\/p>\n

2\/12\/24 (Day 10)<\/strong>
\nStill bubbling strong.\u00a0 S.G. = 1.042
\nIt’s got a weird flavor.<\/p>\n

2\/23\/24 (22 Days)<\/strong>
\nS.G. = 1.014.\u00a0 It’s hot.\u00a0 Needs lots of time to sit and clear.<\/p>\n

3\/2\/24 (30 Days)<\/strong>
\nS.G. = 1.014 (I think it’s done!!!)\u00a0 Racked into clean carboy NOT STABILIZED!
\n15.6 % ABV<\/strong><\/p>\n

3\/15\/24 (Day 43 )<\/strong>
\nadded 1 cup salted caramel tea (steeped for 5 minutes)
\n1 lb Sam’s Club honey for back sweetening<\/p>\n

4\/6\/24 (Day 65)<\/strong>
\nBottled this beast today.\u00a0 It’s still got a bite to it.\u00a0 Once the heat leaves the mouth, the Worthers taste comes through a bit.\u00a0 Not my favorite but we will see how it tastes in 6 months and a year.\u00a0 Not really happy with the yield.\u00a0 The thin layer at the bottom was very cloudy and I really probably only had a little over half gallon to bottle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
