  Thanks for the response.

  Hey Everyone,So I just did my first extract brew (well I did one about 3 years ago but this is
  the first one since then) and I have some concerns. I'm making the extract White House Honey

  Mine finished at around 1.008 and I do not recommend letting it go that low. Mine isn't bottled

  batch of...
