quick update on my 1st batch,

after adding the 1lb of honey into the gallon DJ, ive left it a week and its looking great, took a hydrometer reading and its gone from a consistent 0.990 to a nice and semi sweet 1.220.

had a taste and im a fan, but like i said im not fussy!

now i guess ive just got to let it clear a bit and wait! its painfull i want to drink it now! oh well guess i will start another batch then , at least then by next xmas i should have a constent flow!
 
right i think ive just got to let this clear then im ready to bottle.

SG jan 31st 1.072, then feb 9th 0.990, then again on feb 20th 0.990.

i then added the 1lb of honey taking the gravity to 1.021 on the 28th feb, it was still this (1.021) on march 7th and again yesterday (march 14th) so ending gravity is 1.021.

now im probably just going to add a bit of bentonite to see if i can clear some of the haze my back sweetening has caused.
