Hi hopefully someone can help me figure out what I have made then how to put it into Beersmith. Feeling quite stupid today!
Gathered approx 5 cups dandelion flower plus 2 cups honeysuckle flower.
Boiled then steeped overnight to yield 14 cups herb tea.
Reduced to 1/2 gallon by boiling. Stirred in 2 lb cane sugar until clear and add 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
Boiled 20 minutes.
It was attempted to be a flavored Candi syrup but I guess it wasn't done correctly. The plan was to add two cups to the secondary (for 2.5 gal batch).
I can't even get a gravity reading on it. After diluting a sample with four times its weight in water the refractometer gave back 1.070.
Sure hate to waste it, spent over four hours collecting/preparing flower petals. But how would I enter it as: 0.5 gallons of 1.211 sugar?
