I just got 12lbs of local wildflower honey not sure if it is raw or not, but it looked like regular honey to me. Not sure whether to do a 5 gallon or 4 gallon batch with this amount. If I do a 4 gallon batch, can I just use a 5 gallon carboy?
I don't think I want to do anything fancy since this will be my first time. I'm looking now for those yeast nutrients in the sticky.
What should I use for yeast? I have some red star yeast, Premier Cuvee, Pasteur Champagne, Cote Des Blancs and Pasteur Red. Any of these good candidates?
I have read that some people pasteurize the mix, but I was thinking to just heat some sanitary RO water and mix it up?
Thanks in advance.
