Here are the pictures of the one I made a couple years ago...this is what it has always looked like (but I didn't back sweeten it-wish I had a little)...
What size batch is the initial recipe?
I just started a 5 gallon batch of this. It smells so good, and has tons of activity.
~14 pounds of honey
Yeast: D-47
Did use yeast nutrient.
Didn't take any other notes or readings.
You will love it.
Also, consider getting some pure maple syrup for backsweetening.
First batch turned out pretty good. My gf really loves it. I like it but feel its too weak, there's barely any alcohol in it (i need to check gravity next time i open a bottle). I just relaunched another batch but with D-47. Its bubling slow and steady at the moment...
