I made a pretty straight 1 gallon Jaom,
3 lbs supermarket honey
1 orange chopped up
handful of chopped raisins boiled in a bit of water
1 package Fleischmanns yeast, can't recall if it was the active dry or rapidsrise kind.
starting sg was 1.110
at one week it was 1.035
second week, 1.020
now after 4 weeks and racking into secondary it's at 1.002
I was shocked, I'd heard that bread yeast would die off around 8-10% abv.
I'm going to add a bit more honey because it's definitely rock fuel tasting atm.
I just hope the fermentation is done, all this testing has brought the batch size down to 2/3 gallon
