Welcome to the dirty side of brewing sandy115
Your TC should drop to 1.000 easily and will probably go as low as .995.
If you are force carbing in a corny then leave when it has finished fermenting then place it somewhere cold for another couple of weeks to allow as much sediment as possible to drop out(honey can be a real bugger to clear,even though you have used clear honey!!) then rack into a corny.

ho ho ho will do, mind you its not to murky just now ,but extremly sweet, 4 hrs into the brew strong signs of fermentation, the thought of this going into a corney, ho ho manky magners wont have a look in regards sandy

[oxford brewer]

It will be very dry and approx 8-8.5% ABV.....Enjoy

[Marts]

It might be an idea to chuck a jar of honey in the cornie before you fill it.

[sandy115]

perplexed no great signs of fermintation a bubble or two per min,no earth moving ferms here watching and waiting was looking for volcanic eruptions more the odd ploop,

[Marts]

TC fermentation is often quite understated. Check its gravity in a few days.

[sandy115]

will do ,why the honey in the corney, i was thinking if its too dry some sweetex might do the trick.

[Marts]

Honey tastes nice with TC

the beast is awakening,it reminds me of that programme about the looneys that chase tornadoes,the demis are getting very cloudy and turbulent with a steady stream of bubbles
