Followed the recipe for the amounts.
Zested the orange peel into the must, and peeled off the rinds because I don't like the pith.
I thought it was odd that this gallon batch floated my hydrometer OFF THE CHART so I couldn't get my initial values...
I spun it and poked it and prodded, even attempted a little bit of threatening, but it was having none of that!
Not sure why the original gravity was that high, but I'm assuming I'll end up with slightly alcoholic syrup to drink, as I used the bread yeast from the recipe, so I'm guessing not much of the honey will get converted... (it has a pretty low tolerance right?)
