My father-in-law is a beekeeper and while we were over there today he discovered about 20 quarts of his honey has little white spots in them surrounded by little bubbles. He decided he couldn't sell it and I offered to take it instead of having it thrown away.
I did a little research and, as I suspected, it is simply a yeast infection beginning in this honey. I cannot detect any change in the taste of it yet, it is really just started.
So now I have lots of honey for brewing.
With the obvious of making mead aside, what else could I brew up with this stuff? How much honey can a honey ale be?
If anyone has any recipes for honey heavy beers or anything else, I would appreciate it greatly. 20 quarts of this stuff needs to be used before this fermentation gets carried away too far. I like to be the one in charge of the type of yeast working, you know?
