Title: Possible fermenting honey
Post by: damar50 on March 01, 2015, 12:11:29 PM
 We have a pail of honey from last fall that has a different flavor, slight ferment taste??.. It was harvested late due to lots of reasons and was not all capped. Is there a use for this honey. The flavor is not bad but I do not want to sell it. Thanks

I just bottled 5 gallons of the stuff myself. It's called Joes ancient orange :-)........ But I started the fermentation purposely.

All I can say is, if anyone is wondering what to do with a few extra pounds of honey, you have to try this recipe. It's easy, it's quick, it's cheap, and it is very good. There is a one gallon recipe widely available online.

damar, what state are you from? I was wondering if you might have some goldenrod honey who's taste could be throwing you off.

Really raw honey brand sells fermented
Check out their site for the list of benefits for human consumption
Obviously not for refeeding

the fish is the last one to know its in the bowl.

A little fermented just has a bit of a bite to it.  Really fermented can be kind of nasty tasting sometimes...
