    Secondary ferment

    I've racked to secondary and added juniper berries and coriander seed. I noticed during the primary the airlock stopped. Bubbling after the 2nd week, maybe it was going really slow, Idk. But the water in the airlock on the secondary even. I figured I'd just let it ride a week and then bottle it...

    Adding water?

    I finished brewing and pitching early this morning and delirious from sleep deprivation. I realized this afternoon I didn't add back enough water to bring it up to a five gallon batch. Its got a krausen already and is bubbling nice, can I add some water to bring it up or should I not poke the bear?

    Honey and sorghum lme

    I am going to make another ale using honey. I want to do a Belgian Blonde /Amber style with orange and coriander and add honey just for kicks. Any honey suggestions? Also since I put in sorghum at flameout, would I put honey in at that point as well or somewhere else during the boil?
