    Alright thanks. I'll have to check it out here in the next few days. Still don't have a way to do a gravity check. I'll be getting that tomorrow hopefully... I went into this completely blind lol I'm just glad I stumbled across this site

    It's been 9 days since I added some to it but if that's what it's supposed to smell like then I'll let it keep doing its thing

    It says to heat it to between 95 and 100⁰ Fahrenheit and to maintain that heat for 20 minutes but not what temperature to store it in threwout the fermentation process but im going to get more equipment and yeast here in the next few days and im going to go about this run a little smarter then...

    It seems like it's doing alright im kinda thinking about adding some more nutrients to it cause it's starting to smell a little like liquor. Unless that's supposed to be normal

    I have added some yeast nutrients to it and the temperature has been between 55⁰ and 60⁰ fahrenheit mostly on the higher side of that

    So how long would you say 3 lbs of honey with 2 grams of dry yeast would take to finish fermenting? If unsure im going to be getting a hydrometer tomorrow or Saturday and I will check in on the readings

    Thanks for the advice... I have been taking notes on what I have been doing and plan to continue to do so... and found out I have a brewery near by and plan on going and picking up the hydrometer and some better yeast and nutrients as well as sanitizer and anything anyone one else suggests as...

    So more or less if taken care of once it clears up it can be ready to drink?
