Fermentation Blow Off

So... After re-pitching the yeast and getting some actual fermentation, I checked the rack every day for a few days to make sure we were on track. Everything seemed normal so I decided I would space the interval of checks out a few days.

Check 4, all ok, next day smelled some beer, but thought nothing of it because I have had that in other brews that were a bit "Hoppy". Three days later I checked again..

Check 5:


Ya....

So thats where I am this week. After a consult from the Brewmasters I will either move to second rack tonight and toss in the pound of honey or I will trash this batch and start again.

Should we be successful in this, we should end up with a 9% ABV "Dr.B's Honey Blonde Ale"
