This brew has the most steps of any brew I’ve attempted and uses several ingredients I haven’t experimented with before, so I am seeking advice
I am still debating how sweet I want this I may want to back sweeten it, this I probably wont know until I get a chance to taste it.
I am also contemplating making this carbonated, not sure if I want to mess with such or not

Ingredients:
- 5lbs honey

- Prep yeast in a mixture of peach juice and honey
- Add yeast after its had 1hr to get going
- Aerate
- Measure SG
- Add in frozen fruit in a brewing bag weighted with marbles.
- Yes this will throw off the initial SG but I’m more concerned with having an initial value for confirming fermentation occurred than an exact ABV
- Let ferment for 7 days
- Remove fruit
- Add 1lb honey
- Stir enough to agitate the colony, mix in honey, and cause some light degassing but no cause aeration
- Adding more honey here to extend the fermentation so its still fermenting while the ginger is in
- Add ginger in a fermentation bag
- Let ferment for 7 days
- Test SG
- Let ferment/rest for 7 days
- Test SG
- `Remove ginger
- If the SG has not stabilized do not proceed till it has stabilized
- Once SG has stabilized
- Add violets and elder flower
- Let steep for 7 days
- Remove flowers
- Add butterfly pea flowers
- Let steep for 7 days
- Check color, add more flowers if needed to get a desirable color
- Once a desirable color is achieved let rest to clear
