I've been wanting to do a pyment for a while, but I didn't want to go half arsed....so last night at the LHBS I decided to buy a kit that Iv'e seen and wanted to make for a while - Orange Chocolate Port.
I haven't cracked the box to read instructions, but from what I'm remembering of these kits, they make a smaller amount of wine (3g? 4g?) than the normal 6g wine kit.
I'm planning on ramping this SOB up with honey instead of sugar (I assume that instructions say to add sugar since the other kits do).
Anyone do this with a wine kit (or a smaller port kit)? Any ideas of amounts of honey must to add to the wine must to end up with 5-6g of awesome pyment?
I'll probably do this in the next 2-3 weeks, so I'd like to read up and get opinions before I do this by ear and screw up a $95 wine kit + $30-40 in honey.
