I have a batch of the honey ‘shine started. I just sprinkled the yeast into the liquid. I think it has done nothing this past week because it was not “activated” prior to adding it in. My question is……do I start over or can I add some activated yeast to it and let it continue since the original yeast is probably dead. I used the fleischmanns yeast.

No need to start over- it is still fine.
If you can take a hydrometer reading now- and let us know what it is.
If it is still high then pitch some more yeast- we have good results with this method-

what was the original reading?

I would think it is finished if you are at 1.010- that is a pretty decent FG. for honey.
What was your recipe?

It is not ruined it might just be a bit yeasty. I’d let it sit a few more days- see if you drop a few more points-
other than that just let the yeast settle and use an auto siphon and leave it behind when you transfer it to the still. -
Good advice …no worries, just distill and enjoy!!
