I made this and added pomegranate and it was great. Sorry did not let it age much, my friends came over and it got drank up at 7 weeks. Now I am making another batch and poured in frozen raspberries. Passes the smell test so far....

Check Whole Foods if you have one close buy. They sell apple cider in one gallon glass jugs. Added bonus of being able to immediately make hard cider by just adding some yeast and an airlock. Then reuse the jig for whatever you like.

Just started a 5 gallon batch of this, stepped up the recipie as given. 17.5 lbs of raw honey for 5 gallons. The honey was collected by a local beekeeper from a local barn. The bees had built a hive between the joists of the loft. My concern is the og is off the chart of my refractometer. This makes the og higher than 32 brix or more than 1.1389. I have this in a 6 gallon better bottle, should I dilute this down a bit after initial fermentation?

If fermentation starts (and I think it will) just let the yeast do their thing.

Mine has passed the 5 month mark, not clear and fruit is still floating. It bubbled for about 3 months, I haven't taken any readings or anything. What should I do? My concern is having the fruit in there for too long.

I just passed the two month mark. I broke a rule by racking it to another 1 gallon jug.
Its got no fruit or anything.

Its very strong in alcohol burn and has only a slight honey background.
I am thinking about topping it off with a little boiled water or is headspace not an issue on this.
and then letting it age for a gooooood long while.

Still no sign of fermentation after 24 hours sitting in a 70 degree room.
