I collected 5 litres of flowers today ( 20 cups) It should really make a 3 gallon batch according to most online recipes, however, will taste the must after straining tomorrow and see how strong the taste is.
Added 4 litres boiling water.. 1.5 kilos of honey simmered with half a litre of water and impurities skimmed off.. nutrient, campden, 2 lemons (juice and zest) and a cup of strong black tea.
Leaving it 24 hours then straining it and adding the yeast.. Lalvin EC118
Currently there is a very strong honeysuckle perfume.. will take the SG after straining it and adjust the level.. aiming for around 1.070 to 1.075.. I don't want the abv too high, trying to keep the delicate flower scent intact.
