Had a Kilo of honey in the bottom of a bucket, left after I repackaged some honey to give away.
Since the apples are starting to drop, and I just rebuilt the antique cider press and test ran it, I had a couple buckets of apple juice on hand...Well, y'all know how this story goes.
I added some juice to the bucket, stirred in the honey, actually took a gravity reading which I only remember as it said it should work out to 10 percent by volume, from apple juice that was reading to potentially 5 percent. Whassat? 1.040 for 5, and 1.060 for 10 percents?
Had Coopers on hand, used it. Wondering if it will stall out and leave me with a sweeter cyser or if it is like to go full dry?
Dunno...Gonna see, in any case, as it's bubbling nicely through the airlock at 67 degree in the basement...
