  I think I'm going to go with the nibs, but I'm going to wait a couple of years.

  Over-oaked it big time. It tastes like toasted plywood with a bit of honey sweetness. Since
  it's got over 3.5 years to cool down should I let it go for now or should I whip up a couple
  more gallons to...

  I just racked mine for the first time since getting off its gross lees. It's already really
  good (but young). I'm amazed how much the honey has come through considering how high the

  Mine is still in the primary. It has gone from an estimated 1.165 (read 1.15 +raisins and dates

  I got one slight burn on my lip when some honey napalm flew up on my finger and I was stupid
  enough to quickly lick it off. My finger was tough enough to not get burned, but my lip and
  tongue still hu...

  Here are some pics from my Bochet. I boiled for a little over an hour. In the primary it is
  dark, but not black. It has a reddish hue.SG was 1.15 exactly, but the chopped dates and
  raisins probably st...

  I did mine yesterday an inoculated today right at midnight.The most dangerous part by far is
  adding water at the end of the boil. The honey at that point is well over the boiling point and
  any water w...
