The local brew shop has Eucalyptus honey, and I'm very curious, so I decided to try a 1 gallon batch using just that honey.
- 3 lbs Eucalyptus honey
- 1 gallon water
- Yeast nutrient
- Yeast energizer
- Lalvin D 47 yeast
I'll boil the water for a little while, then take it off heat, add the honey, cool, pitch, and go. And that's more or less what happened. Pitched at 106F. We'll see if I killed the yeast. I used about a third of the packet of yeast. We'll see how that goes. The honey had a little bit of an anise flavor. Should be interesting anyway. -Morrigu 17:32, 23 May 2010 (EST)
