I have a Vintners Reserve Coastal Red kit that I want to use to honey to make it more full-bodied. The Coastal Red is described as medium-light body with cherry notes. I've read that the gravity on VR kits can range from 1.080 to 1.097. I plan on adding 3 to 6 pounds of cranberry blossom honey to achieve a total of 6 gallons and 1.120 starting gravity. I'll start by adding the juice and water to achieve 5 gallons and checking gravity at this volume to determine how much honey to use.
Thoughts? Ideas? Will there be honey character?
