ok first of all let me why i am experimenting with honey and trying to
change recipes,,,, its because my dad is borderline diabetic, so i am
trying to brew with honey,,, my brother has been making honey meed,,,
but meed is vary high in alcohol,, and it needs to age for months like
wine (it takes months to work out the bitter off flavors) i made a
standard batch of beer with CooperS Yeast and extra-light malt extract.
but i cut back on the sugar(not a big deal) when it stopped working i
tasted it it tasted ok GREEN but no off flavors.. i split 7lbs honey to
30Gallons of beer. i boiled the honey for 15-minuets in a small amount
of water. th beer worked for about a week (and Yes the weather got a
little warm) 90F the beer got as warm as 75F. that is why i posted about
(ICE-BEER)
.......................OK here is whare im at now..
i froze one 6gal bucket untel it turned to icy slush i racked it into a
keg late last night(i didn`t add any water) it still has faint lemon
tast to it ... bt it has improved.. i hope it will work out with age....
i have another bucket in the freezer ready to go
(PS) i lose about 1/12 gallons of beer to ice i would like to cut back
on the wast. but if its all suspend yeast and crap i can live without it
