Hey Dug88,

Here's one for your thinking enjoyment.

What should I expect to have happen by mixing about 5 lbs of honey and
a gallon bucket of ripe percimmons (absolutely ripe, mushy, chock fill-o
fruit sugar sugar)?

You see, I'm a beekeeper and had this mess of wax and honey, so I
disolved the honey (mostly to clean the wax), at them same time I was
also drying percimmons (they are delicious dired, just like candy), and
I had a bunch of this percimmon mush; now I don't really care for
percimmon pudding or cookies, so I threw the whole bunch of sweet stuff
into the bucket, added some dry wine yeast, wall-lah.

That was on Dec 27.

The 5 gallon batch is still bubbling every 12 seconds, slowing by about
a second per day for the last three days. Been going strong since I
pitched the yeast, just about blew the air out of the lock after about
the first 5 days (it took off after about 2 days, thought it was stuck
at first but guess the yeast was just O2ing up).

What kind of alcohol do I have in this thing? Is it safe to drink?
