Jsinning - my final recipe was the exact same as the op except I scaled to 5gal (just multiply everything x5) and used a little over half the amount of honey. Also I used wyeast 1056 (2 packs). Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

As I noted before, some darker components (the "dark matter" o_O) seemed to settle toward the bottom of the batch I made making the lower part of the keg pour darker and cloudier, but as I suspected, that would clear up once that portion had been drawn from the keg. It took somewhere between 1...

Well, since I did a 5 gal batch the recipe would have scaled to 27.5 oz wildflower honey (1.7 pounds) - I eyeballed about 1 pound and that tasted good to me, so to scale it back down to a 1 gal batch that would come to 3.2oz wildflower honey per gallon. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

So I cold-crashed and then transferred to a secondary and I used 2.5 tsp potassium sorbate and a campden tablet for the 5 gal batch, let that sit for 2 days in the fridge and then added the sugar, vanilla, honey, and root beer extract. I just kegged it the other night so it's still carbonating...

Thanks - I picked up some potassium sorbate for stabilizing, also I'll heed your caution on the honey, I'll scale back and keep adding smaller amounts to taste Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I got ~1.086 OG since I was doing a 5 gal batch I x5'ed everything: 5# light DME, 1.25# Light Brown Sugar, 1.25# Lactose

hey there - decided to try this one out tonight! I scaled up to a 5 gal batch (just x5 everything you listed except the yeast) and right now I'm waiting for the wort to cool. had a question on the latter part of the recipe though - you say "before kegging ... 1 cup sugar boiled in 1 cup water"...
