How to ferment? Low IQcel

[slavicpsycho]

I got raw honey and left it 50% in the jar then filled the rest with water its been a few weeks now its fully liquid
Now am I supposed to open it once every few days for oxygen? Or keep it shut until I use it

That’s gonna make the honey moldy by adding water to it

50% water sounds like a lot. Is it bubbling?

Nah it was solid/hard at the start but added water now it mixed into it its all one liquid

No but theres white shit floating around
I realized it should be 1:8 ratio later on but too late to do anything about it

The point of honey is that it doesn’t mold due to its low water content by adding water it will go bad but I’m not too sure

Bro why this nga keep hmmmming me

Maybe shitty pasteurized honey,, If its raw honey especially fermented it should kill the mold from the bacteria in it

Give it a stir then smell, you’ll know if it’s off

Plain Fermented Honey

Fermented honey is filled with beneficial bacteria. It has been known to boost the immune system, improve digestion, and lower cholesterol. You can have a spoonful a day or add it to your favorite foods. It's especially delicious in lemonade!

This is what i could find for plain honey without anything else. If you want to actually get high from it you have to do it for a while though

Light alcohol or a fermented bread

Woah that sounds like it smells good

 

[Slavusz]

Shake it around and open it and stir it everyday for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks the fizz should subside and you seal it shut and let it sit for a month at least and you get really good mead after 2 months fermentation.

It smells like honey and beer. But not too strong of an alcohol smell since i put way too much fucking water

Does it increase the benefits of the honey originally

Honestly just give it a taste put it in your mouth and if it’s foul split it out but it doesn’t sound like it’s gone off

Ideally should be 1/5 honey, 4/5 water. Don't use carbonated water it kills bacteria and ruins fermentation, if you're using carbonated make sure to shake out the carbonation before hand.
