Did you share any with them? I think I would have let them lick the spoon at least.
Just started a batch this morning, 22 pounds of honey in a 8 gallon pot, and we still almost had a boil over. Had to remove it from the heat a few times, and if we ever do it again we'll put newspaper down on the floor to catch all the little honey bombs that fly out of the bubbling pot. Didn't burn it black but it was damn dark, and started smelling a little burnt. Diluted it to 6 gallons and had a SG of 1.120, added yeast energizer, and nutrient, then pitched EC-1118. hope this works out because we're going to have a bunch to drink in 18 months or so.
