Whoops guess i filled the carboy to full. One of them the airlock & bung blew off. The other one is leaking all over. Boy i am anxious to find out what this is gonna taste like. I have to wait at least 2 mos before a Taste test. Then another few months after that before i can drink a bottle.

Thanks for all your help. It is appreciated. Can't wait to get started.

Thanks for all the input. One more question. I was wanting to make 2 Batches but only have 6lbs of honey. Would cutting it down to 3lbs per batch have a big negative effect on alcohol content or anything else? Thanks again for all the input.

I used red star monoratchet i believe. Stir twice a day? Instructions say once a day. Is it personal preference?
