Re: 3 piece airlock...
Definitely take a look at that link to the NewBee Guide. Common wisdom now is not to boil and skim the honey. You drive off all kinds of flavors and aromas when you do.
Did you add any nutrients, etc?
Actually, it might be best if you start your own thread giving us the intimate details of your recipe, ingredients and especially procedures. Take a look in the Brewlog for some examples. The more info we have, the better we can help you!
