finished cooling my wort and was aerating it between the pot and primary and i thought to myself "hey! my last blonde only came out to a 4.6% abv. why not kick it up a notch and give it some more flavor!" so, i added 1lbs of honey to my 5.5 gal batch. then i pitched the yeast and closer her up.
not till this morning did i realize i never pasteurized the honey before adding it into my wort. which i read can be a bad thing since honey can have wild yeast and bacteria.
did i just send my yeast into a bad neighborhood of my own creation?? i've been apologizing to the fermentor in hopes the yeast will overcome the challenges i created for them.
