Notes

Experiment based on what I have in my kitchen. Colour and flavour may be darker than amber. Yeast K1 was the best option available, an ale yeast would probably taste better.

Day 3: Hydrogen sulfide offgassing, aerated by stirring to release excess.

Day 13: Fermentation nearly complete, kegging on day 15. First tastes are of toast with floral and bitter honey. Colour is amber, golden honey.
