I wanted to ask the forum if they had a similar experience using honey.
I was using Wyeast 3056, Whole foods 365 Organic Apple Juice, and I added 131g of clover honey (1 gallon batch).
I noticed two things I wanted to confirm.
1. The honey batch tasted absolutely terrible when young. I had other batches going side by side with the honey and 2-3 weeks in, I hated it. The batch aged another month and it was arguably the best of all of the batches.
2. I got an enhanced clarity after it was about 2 months old. Again, I had side by side batches (Molasses, Light by Sugar, No Sugar added) and the honey had by far the best clarity. I'm sure this has something to do with the honey itself causing precipitation, but I wanted to see everyone else's experience.
