Hi I would love to know what your recipe is as I've got a couple growing big

Ok so I've tried making a honey beer I started a small batch 1 lb of of honey and 2 lbs of light malt extract for 2 gallons all went well not too strong. But it's not ended up tasting good. So I was thinking of blending it with a plain beer any ideas anyone? I was thinking 2/1 plain to honey?

How did this go it sounds good ?

Well it did not clear aswell as it could have but bottled now. Sample tasted great start OG 1063 FG 1010 So a little strong I can't wait to try it

It was a dme with fuggles hops .5oz for 1 gallon so I think I've not rinsed well enough but it may be the hops

How much are you making 5 g ? It sounds fun.

I'm not sure if its the water or sanitiser I've used any ideas. I have filtered the water and washed out both demijohn carboy and mini kegs any ideas ?

I have come across a pumpkin ale recipe and still have a couple left over from autumn as well as a spare demijohn so I'm thinking of giving it a crack 1 gallon only as that's my spare demijohn and am still needing to keep everything else going as I've run out of beer that's ready --1 kg pumpkin...

Well it's only my second beer and I put the hops in for about twice as long so very bitter and dry

Cheers have you got the method as mine got sanitised at some point and what I found on the Internet made less than no sense
