8oz (227grams) of Sugar or Honey in 4L of water should be about 2-3 Abv, A 1/2 Packet of yeast should be enough for a small batch however if you should have any doubts adding the full packet of yeast will not do any harm. most wine yeast would eat all the sugar in a batch of this size so for a...
It is Certainly a work in progress, my biggest brewing attempt both as a batch volume & target ABV. I did say Honey Wine, although as a braggot technically I suppose it is a hybrid between being equal parts honey wine and a beer. To be honest I am not entirely sure how to even classify this...
I'm still around, Haha; Work has kept me busy & I've been figuring this beast of a brew out in the background. Missed the notification I was getting a response. I'm not entirely sure how much nor how often I should plan to feed, I've heard Kveik yeast can be quite aggressive if you run them on...
Think I have a better understanding of step feeding math now, (Specific Gravity after added sugar+( Previous Original Gravity-previous final gravity)), something to that effect anyway. ( To Keep track of where the brew is at to avoid bottle bombing the batch)
The idea behind the step feeding, paired with temperature control of coarse is to help mitigate against a possible blow out, Happened once with a chocolate peanut butter stout, wasn't fun to clean and I had to dig an airlock out of the ceiling. haha ( We learned about blow off hoses soon after)...
Uffda, Well My Uncle introduced me to brewing beer and I've been at it now for the better part of a decade. Mostly Kits to be fair however I'm starting to branch out the last couple years, trying some custom brews and dabbled a bit with Wines, Meads & Ciders. a Bit much for solo research at...

6lbs Golden Malt LME
2oz@60min/1oz@15min Cascade hops (Home Grown, Whole Dried)
1 Pkt Omega Hornindal Yeast
3-5 gallons water to start
Fermented until dry...
