INSTRUCTIONS
Boil honey and 3 gallons water with 3 ounces hops for 47 minutes, add
1 ounce last 7 minutes. Before adding hops, skim off the scum that
rises to the top. Cool and pour into fermenter and top to 5 gallons.
Add acid blend, nutrients and re-hydrated yeast. When fermentation
completes, mix with 1 cup sugar, a little yeast and bottle. This was
the very first beer I ever made and 7 years ago most people I knew
didn't worry about the bittering units of the hops. I would guess
that they were around 3% AAU's. Red star was the main yeast used at
the time. Yeast nutrient is necessary since the honey does not have
the required food for the beasties. I used buckwheat honey because I
like the flavor. Do not drink this beer until at least 1 month after
bottl- ing. Since it is made from honey the ale improves with age. A
bottle that I saved for 4 and a half years tasted so good that I wish
I had saved more! The beer had a very nice honey aroma and flavor.
The hops were enough to balance the sweetness. I don't think that I
would change anything except try to make more and keep it a while
before drinking. Original Gravity: 1.031 Final Gravity: 0.997 Recipe
