3.3 lbs honey
1.5 oz. dried hibiscus petals
1 oz. juniper berries
water to 1 gallon
Bread yeast (boiled to make yeast nutrient)
Lalvin EC-1118 (Wine yeast, for fermenting)
Bring 3/4 gallons of water to a boil. Crack the juniper berries, then add them to the water. Add the hibiscus petals. Let steep for 30 minutes. Ladle off a bit into a small glass, and add some honey. Use that to rehydrate the EC-1118.
Ladle off another portion into a small pot. Rehydrate the bread yeast, then bring to a strong boil. Add the honey to the jar. Grab an extra pitcher, and strain the juniper-hibiscus mix into it. Add the mix to the jar.
By now everything should be cool. Add the boiled bread yeast to the jar. Add the hopefully now foamy EC-1118 to the jar. Measure the gravity, and adjust with honey or water to 1.120.
