I want to make some honey shine I got the honey which is best yeast to use please ???

[Rwithers]

Cool will do thanks a lot.. If it remains the same @ 1.000 shall I take it out the fermenting room and let it sit for a few days in a cooler room to let stand..?? It appears very clear anyway but for the sake of a few more days to let it drop out any sediment I don’t want to ruin it as so expensive to do with honey..? Or can I distill straight away once it’s been at a steady gravity for several days..???

just done it again its bang on 1.000….!!! its still got a bit of activity on bubbles what does this mean do I still jus leave it ferment ????????????

[Rwithers]

Sitting at jus below 1.010

[Rwithers]

Also what should my FG be for the honey shine ??? It’s been 3 weeks now and still bubbling away is this ok as kept it at 22″C thought it should of been done in 2 weeks ..???!!

[Rwithers]

Thanks .. When letting stand is it better in the cold like beer as yeast drops down better when cooler …??? Many thanks

iv been fermenting some honey shine for about 2 weeks now its still bubbling so I know it needs a bit longer and is down to 1.010 …. its says to let it stand for 5-7 days when finished fermenting what does this mean ?? at the same temp or in a cool place ??? please advise … thanks in advance

[Rwithers]

[Rwithers]

When it’s done fermentation it says let it stand for 5-7 days what does this mean ??? Do I siphon it off the yeast first ???

[Rwithers]

so this is a 6 gall batch ..?? if I want to do 5 gall as that’s my still and fermentation size do I jus drop 1 lit of honey and 1 gall of water ??? iv got 5gram packets of dry bread yeast so 2 of those ?? do I put nutrient tablet in too as some say that works well ??? don’t want to get it wrong as it expensive to make ..!! cheers
